Dark Culture

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term dark culture (German Schwarze Szene, Portuguese cultura dark, Spanish cultura 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 humans with similar interests and preferences (e.g. dark music).^[2]

Parts of subcultures within the "dark culture" are:

Gothic subculture Cyber subculture (with genres like electro-industrial, aggrotech, dark electro)
