The following is a list of notable artists who have been described as gothic rock by reliable sources. "Gothic rock" is a term typically used to describe a musical subgenre of post-punk and alternative rock that formed during the late 1970s. Gothic rock bands grew from the strong ties they had to the English punk rock and emerging post-punk scenes. According to both Pitchfork{{cite web |url=http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/9814-a-life-less-lived-the-gothic-box/ |title=Various Artists: A Life Less Lived: The Gothic Box | Album Reviews | Pitchfork |last=Abebe |first=Nitsuh |website=Pitchfork |date=24 January 2007 |access-date=10 March 2013}} and NME,{{cite web|url=http://www.nme.com/originals/4 |title=NME Originals: Goth |work=NME |year=2004 |access-date=30 September 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022211448/http://www.nme.com/originals/4 |archive-date=22 October 2012 }} proto-goth bands included Joy Division,{{cite magazine |last=Rambali |first=Paul |author-link=Paul Rambali |date=July 1983 |title=A Rare Glimpse into a Private World |magazine=The Face |quote=Curtis' death wrapped an already mysterious group in legend. From the press eulogies, you would think Curtis had gone to join Chatterton, Rimbaud and Morrison in the hallowed hall of premature harvests. To a group with several strong gothic characteristics was added a further piece of romance. The rock press had lost its great white hope, but they had lost a friend. It must have made bitter reading.}} Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus and the Cure. The term was first used by critic John Stickney in 1967 to describe the music and accompanying performances by the Doors. The Doors' lyrics and their "audience-antagonizing performances" have even been seen as the beginning of gothic rock.{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=97PGJX3DMFAC&q=Doors |title=Listening to the Sirens: Musical Technologies of Queer Identity from Homer to Hedwig |first=Judith A. |last=Peraino |page=240 |publisher=University of California Press |year=2005 |isbn=978-0-520921740}}
