074: Is Goth Apolitical?

We have a special episode for you this week, we are back with a
full panel to discuss one of the most contentious topics related
to goth. In a climate where it is becoming increasingly difficult
to talk to those who don’t share our views, what role does goth
play? Transgressive and activist counterculture, or impartial
music tribe? Does denying the political roots and inclinations of
goth culture lend itself to infiltration by racist and sexist
ideologies?


Our panel this month consists of Abigail, Dani, Nephilim, Trae,
and Zakkarri

I’ve avoided dividing the episode into timestamped sections, as
the the conversation is loosely structured, each portion of the
episode continuously builds upon the previous on, and they are
wide ranging in and of themselves. As always thank you for
