Beavis

Is it notable to mention that in Beavis & Butthead, Beavis would occasionally wear a "Death Rock" shirt? 72.188.19.104 (talk) 06:02, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say no. I doubt Mike Judge knew/knows the difference between Death Rock and death metal. Beavis and Butthead frequently made fun of any Gothic or Death Rock video that was played on the show.Very Old School Goth (talk) 12:19, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not punk

Death rock isn't a fusion of punk & goth. It is an alternative label for Goth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.96.254.123 (talk) 12:35, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An alternative label for Goth? Have you any idea what you're talking about? Very Old School Goth (talk) 20:08, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

not goth

Death rock is not goth in any way .It is a sub genre of punk plian simple it's not any kind of goth .

Some dumbasses who did not know the difference started using them interchangeably way back wen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.118.200.168 (talk) 17:14, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Death Rock isn't a genre. It's an umbrella term used for American Post-Punk groups which deal with horror and death themes. So listen to 45 Grave. It's a completely other music than Christian Death or Kommunity FK. Furthermore, bands like Screams for Tina, Voodoo Church, Mephisto Walz and others were influenced by the British Goth movement. The Gothrock movement started in 1979 in Great Britain. Bands such as Bauhaus and Siouxsie and the Banshees toured in San Francisco, New York and other towns in 1980/1981. They're very popular.

But original Death rock bands released their first albums between 1982 and 1983. The Death Rock movement started three years later and is strongly influenced by the British Goth movement. Like it or not, that's a fact. --Ada Kataki (talk) 00:28, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bullocks. Deathrock is one part Punk, one part Goth. The end. Cheers! Very Old School Goth (talk) 14:46, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- VOSG nailed it on the head. I also recommend putting in the introduction the following sentence: "Deathrock is not to be confused with death metal, the latter being a completely unrelated genre of metal."
