I do not think that they are completely different. Lets take the Grunge movement in the 90's, everyone here should still be able to remember that. Credited for starting it, Kurt Cobain. Now lets say that 10 years from now, Britiney Spears starts dressing grunge, still does the same crappy pop music, but dresses grunges and adopts the attitude. Would you say that A) The new "Grunge music" is a diluted, commercialized, pathetic attempt at a retro revival that is an insult to the actual roots of grunge, or B) A totally different, new, thing that borrowed a bit.
The only difference is that no one who was a part of the original American Goth movement is still alive to point this out to us.
