Deathrock is a subgenre of punk rock incorporating horror elements and spooky atmospherics, that emerged on the West Coast of the United States in the early 1980s.

Emo is a loosely categorized music genre characterized by expressive, often confessional, lyrics.

It emerged as a style of post-hardcore from the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore" and pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace.

However, as emo was echoed by contemporary American punk rock bands, its sound and meaning shifted and changed and it was reinvented as a style of indie rock and pop punk encapsulated in the early 1990s by bands such as Jawbreaker and Sunny Day Real Estate.

By the, numerous emo acts formed in the Midwestern and Central United States, and several independent record labels began to specialize in the genre.

Meanwhile, a more aggressive style of emo, screamo, had also emerged.

The goth subculture is a contemporary group of people within a culture who adopt fashion elements such as black clothing, dyed black hair, dark eyeliner, black fingernails and black period-styled clothing and a focus on gothic rock and a range of other music genres.

The goth subculture, which is found in many countries in the 2010s, began in England during the early 1980s in the gothic rock scene, an offshoot of the post-punk genre.

Notable post-punk groups that presaged that genre are Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division and Bauhaus.

The goth subculture has survived much longer than others of the same era, and has continued to diversify.

Its imagery and cultural proclivities indicate influences from the 19th century Gothic literature along with horror films.

Alchemy is a philosophical and protoscientific tradition practiced throughout Europe, Egypt and Asia.

It aimed to purify, mature, and perfect certain objects.

Common aims were chrysopoeia, the transmutation of "base metals" (e.g., lead) into "noble" ones (particularly gold); the creation of an elixir of immortality; the creation of panaceas able to cure any disease; and the development of an alkahest, a universal solvent.

The perfection of the human body and soul was thought to permit or result from the alchemical magnum opus and, in the Hellenistic and western tradition, the achievement of gnosis.

In Europe, the creation of a philosopher's stone was variously connected with all of these projects.
