On this episode we speak with Dr. Goth and Brit about goth music! How do we identify what is goth music and isn’t? How does countercultural music resist capitalism and oppression today, as it did in the 80's? How do camp and The Gothic empower the powerless? We’ll speak with Charles Mueller about his PhD in Historical Musicology and the parallels between goth of today and the climate goth emerged from in the 80’s.
