Gothabilly
Encyclopedia : G : GO : GOT : Gothabilly
Gothabilly is a portmanteau which refers to an unusual fusion of rockabilly music and the Goth culture. Separate from "Psychobilly" due to the comedic aspect that is often inhibited in the over the top, violent lyrics. Often the vocal styles are very similar to classic rockabilly. While the gothabilly subgenre is widely acknowledged to have been started by The Cramps in the late 70's, the term itself didn't come into fruition until the early 90's in an interview with Salon Betty frontwoman, Betty X. The adage quickly caught on.
On a similar note, the terms Death Lounge and Deathabilly can also be credited to Betty X in the same time period.
