    +Dark culture is the aesthetic category. Goth, industrial, darkwave — it existed as a named genre well before techno absorbed the terminology. Dark culture describes what something looks like. The clothing, the lighting, the visual language. It is a category you can point at in a lineup photo and identify.
    +
    +Dark taste is the underlying sensibility. It describes what you are drawn to and why. Dark taste existed before dark culture was named. It is the reason someone ends up in the basement instead of the main floor. The reason the minor key feels more honest than the major. The reason unease is more interesting than comfort.
