Dark culture

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term dark culture (German Schwarze Szene, Portuguese cultura dark, Spanish escena oscura), also called "dark alternative scene", is an umbrella term, used to describe a summary of parts of several subcultures.^[1] In this context the "culture" is not to be understood as closed subculture, but as "social environment", a milieu, which comprises people with similar interests and preferences (e.g. dark music).^[2] Dark culture includes:

• the goth and dark wave culture
• elektro subculture (with genres like electro-industrial, aggrotech and dark electro)
• parts of the neofolk and post-industrial subcultures
• parts of the metal subculture (with genres like gothic metal, doom metal and black metal)
