The Doors were once called 'gothic' rock. It's just a word to describe an atmosphere... those who legitimately tried to fit into a genre called 'Goth' wound up actually not as dark as some synthpop I've heard. I'd call some Pink Floyd releases gothic, and almost all of Tool. Johnny Cash, too. And you know who's really fucking gothic? Morbid Angel.
Personally, I prefer bands like Skeletal Family and Sex Gang Children to most darkwave bands, even though I listen to them, too. But as for new music? You're just gonna have to listen to whatever grooves you, man.
OH! One more thing. Look up Helena Beat, by Foster The People, and tell me what you think. I freaking love those guys(and I didn't think I would!).
