Best Answer

Punk rock stemmed off from rock. It was so popular because it was very original and modern with political lyrics. The songs were short and fast paced. It was something that just caught on. collingwood

When did goth music begin?

I think goth began in the early 1980s, during the post-punk period. Punk had its heyday in the seventies, and by 1982, punk as a movement was over. Around this time -- the early eighties -- punk was morphing into two very different styles of music: hardcore punk like Black Flag and the Dead Kennedys, and new-wave bands like Depeche Mode and the Cure. And Depeche Mode and the Cure are basically the archetypal, prototypical goth bands. So, I would say that goth began in the early-to-mid 80s as part of the new wave movement, and then split off into its own genre as the 80s progressed.
