136: From Sound to Subculture

How can goth be consistently distinctive when it’s so musically diverse? If goth is all about the music, how does that transform a group of people into a community based subculture? How do social spaces give rise to meaningful cultural substance? Can industrial, gothic metal and more be considered goth music? We’ll look at these questions and more in our extensive discussion of the book ‘Goth Music: From Sound to Subculture’. We feature brand new music on All Goth Considered from Obscura Undead!
