Actually a lot of the foundation music and culture came directly from the punk scene. Siouxsie, The Cure, The Cult (Southern Death Cult, Etc.), Bauhaus, Joy Division and many others all hail from the dark days of the late 70's punk movement. The family tree is correct, however the newest feel and flavor of music in the Goth movement is pretty far removed from its punk roots with the inclusion of all sorts of electronica. The Goth culture has become a fairly robust one, including literature, music, visual art, fashion, decorating and social norms, but do not be mislead; Goth culture has roots in punk. Are those boots you're wearing? : )
