Well, by the definition of its emergence, the label was meant to describe alternative pop-leaning music produced after the blatant punk rock era, but these days it’s generally used to describe gothic-style music. Consider it the rebel of genres: Taking elements from mainstream radio tunes and twisting them into its own experimental art narrative! Still confused? Take a peek at some of the artists below!
