Subjective, they've been called Gothic Metal frequently


* MisaimedFandom: Many fans are confused about the band's genre. Evanescence gets compared to symphonic/gothic/power metal bands like Music/{{Nightwish|Band}} and Music/WithinTemptation when it's not of those genres. It's also not in the "emo" genre of music, though many fans of the emo ''subculture'' like Evanescence, and they're not a goth band, though some goths do like it.

* OlderThanTheyThink:
** The band itself. Going from virtually unheard of to chart-topping in the matter of weeks gave the impression that they were just assembled overnight by some major label and put out there to carter to alternative fans, and they were even openly resented by several European colleagues for that. By 2003, Evanescence actually had over half a decade of demos, self-published material and experience in the Little Rock underground circuit, making them about the same age as most of their peers.

Not Christian Rock is no longer a trope


** Music/{{Creed}} did NotChristianRock earlier than Evanescence, and they weren't even the first.

*** Also happened in 2022 after Amy [[https://loudwire.com/evanescence-part-ways-guitarist-jen-majura/ announced]] that Jen Majura would be leaving the band, only for Majura to issue her own statement all but outright saying that she had been fired - some fans argued that the band was Lee's and it was her decision who stayed and who left, while others were furious on Majura's behalf, especially because of how much Lee had talked about what a great fit for the band she was and they were sick of Lee "disposing" of band members once she got tired of them.
