Is horror punk a part of goth, or does it just share a visual aesthetic (piefed.world)

I know what the really early goth bands were (the smiths, banshees, etc) and how it started primarily as post punk, but outside of that im pretty confused on what bands/genres are a part of goth. It doesn’t help that there are a lot of bands (usually alternative metal) that are liked by/associated with goth but have nothing to do with the actual subculture. (Learning about goth so far has felt like the inverse of learning about emo, where I started out knowing mostly newer bands and understood the genre more as I learned more about the early foundational bands, whereas with goth I only really know the early bands and am completely lost from there)

From my perspective, if it is dark and depressing (to some degree), then it is likely to be apreciated by someone who identifies as goth.

My conclusion was that it's not strictly goth musically. Still punk and not post. But definitely culturally goth. I could rattle off a list of bands from the genera I love off the top of my head.
