Oh, ok. Well, It's sort of like the tag line on No Depression magazine "...whatever that is." Genre labels are a handy shorthand, but are inherently problematic. I myself have a hard time classifying the music we talk about on this site because oftentimes what I like about this music is the juxtaposition of styles in often unexpected ways. And I often can't quite put my finger on the influences and instrumentation like my son, who is a musician, can. So rather than sounding like an idiot, I tend to shy away from detailed reviews/descriptions. So if it seems like a mish-mash, it's because it is! Also, I think that people who like music which is a composite of styles tend to also like the styles on which it's based. So if I like punkabilly, I'll probably also tend to like rockabilly. Some of the artists that get mentioned here aren't really gothic country but fall under the general taste umbrella of gothic country, etc. fans.
