there are videos, there are photos and of course there are records. you don't need to look into things too close to see the similarities in sound and look.
one thing is an accepted notion or generalization (like the goth stooges lite which obviously is just lazy journalism, i hear a mixture of the stooges, the cramps and bauhaus with the b party) and another a personal appreciation, having seen them and listening to them, i can say they are choreographing their stuff from nick and the boys.
there's a difference between being influenced by (see oxbow and daughters' hell songs) and another to be an unimaginative, derivative and unoriginal ripoff (the horrors).
