A subgenre that seems to be widely misinterpreted and unrecognized, it is encompassed by liturature, film, and music.
Southern Gothic inspiration arises from the macabre, politically incorrect and disturbing side of the American South, exclusively exposing the flawed nature of Southern society. The popularity of the subgenre peaked in the 1940's - 1950's, although it made first appearances much earlier in works of literature by famous writers such as Edgar Allen Poe, William Faulkner, and Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Events that may unfold when indulging in Literature and film:
• Environmental decay, disturbing and mentally unbalanced characters, political tyranny, small town poverty, murder, and other events involving death.
Southern Gothic music (Gothic Americana) displays a mixture of Alternative, Country/Folk, Southern Rock and sometimes Bluegrass. Lyrical Inspiration arises from similar events found in Southern Gothic literature:
•Poverty, decay, disturbing characters, religion & the Devil, alcohol, gambling, betrayal (political/romantic), murder and the death of loved ones.
It is not uncommon for a Southern Gothic song to be narrated in first-person, as though the artist was personally involved with whatever dark events unfolded.

Having read the Southern Gothic novel To Kill a Mockingbird, the social and racial injustice are predominant themes.
If you like powerful, old movies with sinister themes, Southern Gothic films are just for you.
"The Bottomless Hole" by The Handsome Family screams Southern Gothic. "Sink Hole" and "That Man I Shot" by Drive-By Truckers are also fine examples. Southern Gothic playlists can be easily discovered.
When listening to Southern Gothic music, the accent adds rather than annoys.

Get the elder goth mug.A more perky type of goth, (predominately female.) Their look usually includes gemstones, brighter colors (pink is very popular), and of course a lot of glitter. Look out for black outfits and unaturally colored hair, false eyelashes, decorative make up, or wigs. Closely connected with babydoll goth.

Get the Glitter Goth mug.A Goth is someone who sees beauty in the dark side of life. Today's society is focused on negating darkness because it is associated with evil. Think about it - in almost every fairy tale, who is the antagonist? The brunette. Who is the protagonist? The blonde. Dark is evil, evil is bad, and therefore we should wipe all trace of it from our lives.
Unfortunately, that's simply not possible. No matter how hard society tries, people still die. Day turns into night. Love becomes loss. It's a fact of life.
So while everyone else is denying an entire half of life, the Goths embrace ALL of life, good and bad. Goths understand that the best and most lasting joy is tinged with a little sadness, and that all love is bittersweet. Goths understand that not everybody has to be happy 24/7, and that the way to succeed is not by pretending you are. Sunlit skies are beautiful, yes, but so are dark cloudy ones. What is white without black? What is a rose without thorns?
Thus, by embracing the shadows as well as the sun, Goths are, in many cases, actually more emotionally healthy than those in mainstream society.
Plus, we get to wear much cooler clothing and listen to far better music!
