Death Rock (also sometimes known as Deathrock or Death Punk) is a term used to distinguish conventional Gothic rock from the more punk influenced scene that sprang up on the American West Coast in the early 1980s. The style is currently seeing a resurgence of sorts, as more punk influenced goth bands begin to appear as a reaction to the growing influence of EBM and Techno in goth music.

The style also often extends to a number of horror punk bands such as The Misfits, who deal in the same kind of morbid imagery that the LA Death rock groups traded in.
