The music of “modern” (post-1990) deathrock bands have a stronger [[post-punk]] influence than the earlier deathrock bands. Additionally, in the US, the term “deathrock” can be used as a synonym for first generation [[gothic rock]]. In the UK the terms were not interchangeable. Most of the early UK bands considered themselves to be punk, or goth, not deathrock -which at the time was an American based movement, though the term Batcave was and still is used by Europeans instead of, or along side Deathrock.
