Dark Culture

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term dark culture (German Schwarze Szene, Portuguese cultura dark, Spanish cultura oscura) is an umbrella term, used to describe a summary of parts of several subcultures. Here the "culture" is not to be understood as closed subculture, but as "social environment", a milieu, in which humans with similar interests and preferences (e.g. dark music) are included.

Parts of subcultures within the "dark culture" are:

darkwave subculture (the early wave and goth movement) neogoth subculture (incl. cybergoths) elektro subculture (e.g. genres like aggrotech or dark electro)

parts of the neofolk and martial subculture parts of the industrial subculture parts of the metal subculture (e.g. genres like gothic metal)
