Deathrock is a pseudo-music genere wich stemmed from late 70s-80s hardcore punk in Los Angeles, California, it started around 1979 and found it's death by the end of the second half of the 80s decade. It's deeply related to Gothic Rock. Around 1998 a group of youngsters decided, navely, that it'd be a good idea to bring back the genere in question, creating an absurd "subculture" based mainly in the numerous webs of the internet attracting a diverse crowd of youngstens composed mainly by teenagers dealing with social ineptitude issues, individuals with homosexual orientation or issues related (as sexual insecurity, closet faggotry, etc.), people with high rates of pretension (see poseur) and lack of maturity. This brought several misunderstandings of what the scene really was back in the 80s, all along with the emergence of many modern bands of low quality (see piece of shit) with nothing to do with the oiginal bands and local scenes in all the world that, in its most are focused on profit and greedy activities derived from this "subculture".
