1970s, there were a few post-punk bands in
the United Kingdom labeled "gothic."

Gothic ideology
Defining an ideology of the gothic subculture is difficult for several
reasons. This is, in part, inspired by romanticism and
neoromanticism. The allure for goths of dark, mysterious, and
morbid imagery and mood lies in the same tradition. The rise of
Romanticism's gothic novel during the 19th century saw feelings of
horror being commercially exploited as a form of mass entertainment,
a process continued in the modern horror film. Balancing this
emphasis on mood, the other central element of the subculture is a
conscious sense of camp theatricality or self-dramatization.The
second impediment to defining a gothic ideology is goth's sometimes
apolitical nature. While individual defiance of social norms was a
very risky business in the nineteenth century, today it is far less
socially radical. Thus, the significance of goth's subcultural
rebellion is limited, and it draws on imagery at the heart of Western
culture.
Religious Gothic
 Aesthetic elements of Catholicism especially play a
major role in goth culture. Many goths see
traditional religions as limiting, and so follow
secularism or New Age approaches to spirituality.
A large number of goths adhere to atheism or
agnosticism. Some goths have a keen interest in
Wicca, Neopaganism, spiritualism, and occult.
Though only some goths Luciferians, Many goths
follow world religions such as Christianity,
Hinduism, Taoism, and Buddhism. There is no one
common religious tie that binds together the goth
movement.

Music

It began in the United Kingdom during the late 1970s to
early 1980s in the gothic rock scene, an offshoot of the postpunk genre. The goth subculture has survived much longer
than others of the same era. Its imagery and cultural
proclivities indicate influences from nineteenth century
Gothic literature, mainly through horror movies. Gothic
music encompasses a number of different styles. Common
to all is a tendency towards a “dark” sound and outlook.
Styles of dress within the subculture range from death
rock, punk, androgynous
