Southern Gothic 

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.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
