"Goth band" is different than "goth rock band". A goth band is a band of goths, while a goth-rock band is one which preforms the goth-rock genre of music.

With this said, it can't be debated what bands are goth-rock or not, though, one could debate whether or not the band itself is goth.

Goth-rock bands (examples):
Bauhaus
Joy Division
The Cure
Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees
The Damned
Christian Death
Sisters of Mercy
The Mission UK
The Church
New Model Army
Fields of Nephilim

Bands Commonly Called Goth-rock, but are not Goth-rock (examples):
Evanescence
Marilyn Manson
koRn
Tool
Slipknot
My Chemical Romance
Aiden
Rammstein
A Perfect Circle
AFI
Black Sabbath
Cradle of Filth
Nightwish
Nine Inch Nails

Tool is amazing, but hardly "goth" in nature.

AFI - Hardcore Revival

My Chemical Romance - Powerpop

Evanescence - Symphonic Metal

Avenged Sevenfold - Post-hardcore w/ metal influences

"Screamo" isn't a real genre. Most bands called "screamo" are powerpop, or some related genre.

"Emo" stands for "emotive hardcore" (NOT emotional) and is best represented by bands like "Sunny Day Real Estate" and "Rites of Spring". The genre is very similar to hardcore-punk, however, it features emotionally evocative lyrics (hence the name "emotive hardcore"), rather than the apathetic, hate-driven anthems of hardcore.

They (like Avenged Sevenfold) are post-hardcore with metal influences.

...because they aren't.

"Goth music" is a general term used to describe genres related to "goth-rock" (these include deathrock [not deathmetal], post-punk, ethereal, darkwave, dark cabaret, and more).

Goth-rock is its own individual genre with it's own characteristics.

Slipknot is not goth-rock, nor are they any of the related genres covered by the term goth-music. This is why they are not goth music.

Slipknot are nu-metal, a subgenre of metal which features:
-thrash style anthemic-choruses and guitars
-hardcore rap verses and drum beats
-electronic backbeats or mixes

Other bands of this genre include Mushroomhead, koRn, Limp Bizkit, and Linkin Park. Nu-metal (or any genre of metal in general) has no relation to goth-rock.
