Throughout our tour we'll be exploring the music and scene of central and eastern Europe, discussing the variation of subcultural expression from country to country and debate whether music can be objectively goth.
In this episode we are going to explore Goth's White Hegemony: Racism, Gatekeeping and Identity. We'll be looking at the ways the mechanisms of white supremacy show up in the goth scene, what we can do about it, and whether goth is a music based subculture.

We compare goth aesthetics and ideals of goth communities across America, discuss what makes goth music goth, and swap clubbing stories.
