Goth
Initially branching out of punk with bands like The Damned and The Banchees, goth music continued to prolificate in the 80's with bands including The Cure and Sisters of Mercy.
As a musical genre goth is mainly categorised as alternative rock/pop and often has it's lyrical focus on introspection and emotion with the music itself tending to be, though not always, dark in nature.
For some, Goth is almost a way of living as much as a musical genre, though thankfully it's quite acceptable to like goth bands without reaching for the crimpers or eye-liner.
Goth highlights: The Cure's album Disintegration.
