Page "Gothabilly" Paragraph 0

Gothabilly ( sometimes hellbilly ), is one of several music and cultural subgenres of rockabilly.

The name is a portmanteau word that combines gothic and rockabilly.

The earliest known use of the word gothabilly was by The Cramps in the late 1970s, to describe their blend of somber, rockabilly-influenced punk rock.

Since then the term has come to describe a fashion and music trend that bridges both the gothic and rockabilly subcultures.
