A deathrocker's style is:
1) A mix of the goth and punk fashion: black\gray clothes, ripped clothes typical to punk, amulets and jewelry typical to goth, combat\biker boots (Doc Martins preferably).

Attitude:

2) Be fond of blood, brains, zombies (mostly), vampires, bats.
3) Be political.
4) Be interested in supernatural, strange, mystical, occult things
5) Pretend to be undead
6) Be artistic, as both punks and goths are artistic people
7) Read a lot (mostly anything you like)
8) Mosh and fight! - since you're half punk, you can mosh or fight whenever you want, as you have to stand up for what is yours
9) Be ironic!
10) Walk around graveyards, as you're half goth, just don't mess it up
11) Never be too serious
12) Watch horror
13) Be yourself and don't sell-out!
14) Worship death, but don't take it as a authority

Music: (bands are JUST examples, listen to anything you like of these genres)
1) Deathrock (TSOL, 45 Grave, Christian Death)
2) Batcave
3) Post-punk (Joy Division, Siouxie and The Banshees)
4) Goth-rock (there's not much there anymore, listen to what you find, unless they're posers or pop-goth)
5) Punk-rock (any with political background, but not pop-punk)
6) Horror-punk (The Horrors, Misfits, Wednesday 13)

A deathrocker is both political and morbid

Moldova

The "Gothic nation"!
Just like England was called the "Skinhead nation", because there were many skinheads, Moldova can be called the "Gothic nation", and not because there's many goths here, but because people tend to suffer on the inside like goths usually do, and because Moldova's got the biggest graveyard in Europe called "Doina cemetery", not to mention there's many squatts and ruined buildings...
It's also my home country, and i'll break any Romanian or Russian's neck if they shit-talk about my country!

A: Do you know why Moldova's the gothic nation?
B: Yeah, because it's people are very depressed and that they've set the record on mortality!
