049: Baby Bats

Welcome back to Cemetery Confessions! On this month's podcast
we are talking about death, cemetery tourism and romanticized
morbidity, we are reviewing the new album from Die Selektion,
and we are going to cover a gambit of topics relating to
identity, club culture, goth youtube, fashion, and music from
the perspective of those who came to goth culture in the
modern age.


Our guests this month are Lennox, Shelby, and Lilith!

Baby bats are often seen as the lifeblood of the club scene,
and are often the metric by which the health of goth culture
is measured, and when they aren’t showing up to events the
“goth is dead” crowd make their concerns known. As goth ages
40 years on, concern over the livelihood and influx of new
members has been a consistent topic of discussion. Elder
goths, millennials, the music industry, the internet, club
owners, the economy, postmodern youth culture, all have been
pointed to as culpable in what some perceive to be the death
knell of goth. Are these claims valid, or just extremist and
myopic assertions? This month I intend to explore each of
these avenues both from the perspective of someone who has
been goth for well over a decade, and from the fresh
perspective of our guests.
