Is it possible to be a punk rocker in a goth gang?

First The Ramones state that Sheena is a Punk Rocker, they are rather adamant about it, they repeat it (29 amazing punk rocky times). Then we fast forward 20 years and you have The Cramps telling us that she is in a goth gang now. While they don't repeat this sentiment as much (only 14 times) they do go into detailed description of her actions in her goth gang. You know, digging up graveyards being in forbidden vampire undergrounds, gothy stuff like that.


What happened? How did this transition occur? Was the change in music, style, beliefs or everything? How old was Sheena when she first identified as a punk rocker how old was she when she joined the gang? I know. Too many questions, we'll just deal with the potential style. After searching the internet I believe i have found accurate photo representation of the beginning and end of Sheena's transition. Please see below.

I find this similar to the change in Siouxsie and the Banshees' music as well as The Damned.


Siouxsie and the Banshees went from this:



to this:



Please don't misunderstand, I enjoy them both, everything in between and after.




On a side and final note; some could argue that Sid Vicious went this route, as he is now dead and there is nothing gother than death.
