Goth rock... well... kind of like Deathrock only a bit more introspective in lyric I would imagine.
But I've heard a lot of bands that are considered goth by legitimate DJs of the scene and they don't really fit that description in my book.
It's very much what I would say about the deathrock revivalists. I mean, good for them for trying to legitimize the shit, but at the end of the day, they're just being deathrock. They're not really doing anything remotely relevant artistically.

And there's the rub, eh? How do you do something relevant or new in a genre that has an established look and feel already; a formula? They could add something new and risk the 'wrath' of the purists or they could make a slightly different genre. I guess that's where all of these sub-sub-sub-genres come from.
