First off: It's not a genre if it has one fucking band. A term coined by slightly above-average gothic rock band HIM to make them seem more edgy to the 12 year olds who listen to them because Ville Valo has a pretty face. It has none of the common elements of classic metal, such as guitar oriented songs, technical solos with heavy blues influence, complicated drum tempos, their lyrics aren't even as dark as Black Sabbath's.
