Why Does Goth Music Matter? - Cemetery Confessions

We are chatting about why goth music is so important to the culture, if it’s the most important feature of our community and by what standards we make that determination. We also review the new album from Double Echo!

Our guest this month is Jennifer Groke! You can find their art and content on YouTube, Facebook and IG.
