Goth is Dead. Or so some complain. Are the older goths just bitching about young kids they don't understand, or is there something to the decline of the culture narrative? What about music, has the internet killed off the music that drivers the culture? That and more with our guest Dez of Occult Whispers records.

This week we are going to be discussing goth music, but more interestingly those sites of liminality and ambiguity where what we’ve come to know as goth music collides and makes love to pop and indie music. What effect has that had on culture and clubs both historically and today, and what does this mean for the future of the genre?
