That's just my opinion.
Darkwave had it's roots in post-punk and spread out to include many other genres over the years including synthpop, neo-classical, industrial, ethereal wave and alternative rock. I see it more as an umbrella term to describe music of a dark and melancholic disposition rather than a genre with a distinctive sound. It could belong in multiple sections but I figure the avant garde/experimental forum wouldn't be a bad place.
