The problem is witch house is nothing like a traditional genre. It is not defined by a tempo, a style of production, a specific group of artists, a region or country or city, or any of the things one could use to pigeonhole, say, shoegaze, dubstep or hip-hop. Even the pool of influences from which it draws are so diverse as to stagger the mind of even the most ardent avant garde completist: witch house can (and does) sound like everything from experimental noise and drone to EBM and darkwave and aggrotech, from hip-hop to punk rock and black metal, often all at the same time.

Witch house is perhaps the first anti-genre, in that it has always actively resisted not just definition, but also detection. Much mockery has been made of artists spelling their band names with strange typographic symbols, but in the early days of witch house this had a specific intent: namely to create a ‘lexical darknet’ (to quote Warren Ellis, the comics writer and novelist whose blog posts led me to my first discoveries in the field), whereby fans had to use the specific symbols in the band names to locate their music online.

interesting article, but cant say i was ever into the whole "dark exclusive cult" thing, all a bit like people inventing personalities for themselves on the internet and stuff.

Less image more music what i say

Excited yet? You should be. Witch house is almost completely free from the constraints of mainstream hype

teh parodoxes lol

mainstream hype is underground hype underground hype is mainstream hype

well written and sourced but generally..... a stupid article littered with inverse hype inducing gushy wishy washy non critical waffle

Yes, anti-hype is still defined by its relationship to hype - and a reactionary stance is not the basis for an entire movement, but rather more of a fashion statement.

At the core of it I hope "the genre," such that it is, manages to escape mainstream attention for a while longer though so it has time to properly percolate and brew into something really innovative/game-changing.

is zola jesus defined as part of this?
seekir is good

[shaan]

How to dress well is moving away from the witch house thing - getting closer to an rnb version of bon iver if anything

this is probably the only "witch house" i've ever found to be appealing in any way

the whole +£$%^&trianglevoodoo thing is going up acreative cul de sac really imo, ive stopped really listening to it and a lot of people will give up with it eventually

but the whole htdw, balam acab, ooooo (tri angl basically) is only going to get more popular i think
