I'm literally having nightmares in which Lana rises from a swamp, whispers ''s**thern g*th*c'' in my ear and turns into a gator

We're just going to have to sit and wait for this one guys... it's not coming any time soon.

When I think of Gothic the first thing that comes to mind is Gothic architecture, so that kinda confuses me as well. Gothic architecture was a prevalent style in Europe in the Middle Ages, and it was associated with the Germanic tribes that settled when the Roman Empire fell - like Franks, Burgundians and Goths. Then the Renaissance guys gave it a negative connotation when they decided that Ancient Greek and Roman architecture, art and way of living was better. Because Gothic was often associated with darkness and superstition. Then, after the Enlightment period, the Romantics wanted to bring Gothic back, and they did so mostly through literature, in works like Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, etc. But that all happened in Europe, so what does it have to do with Southern Gothic? Really not much Gothic style got to the USA a little late in relation to Europe, and it coincided with the aftermath of the civil war. In Europe, it was usually dark castles, mad scientists, superstition, ghosts, supernatural forces, and fear of the unknown. USA authors added other layers to it. Instead of an old, dark castle, the setting was an old, decrepit plantation. So, Southern Gothic literature from the late 19th and early 20th century deals with the dark themes that concerned the USA in those times - death, religion, generational trauma, assault, violence, mental illness, poverty, and racism. Which is why I said in some other thread, that Lana's most Southern Gothic work, thematically, was Ocean Blvd, even if it wasn't necessarily in the Southern USA. (A&W, Fingertips, Kintsugi, Judah Smith Interlude, even Fishtail - all deal with some of these Southern Gothic themes.) ETA: Zodiac too omfg that's one of her darkest songs ever. Someone pls correct me if I'm wrong, this is just me speaking from some literature knowledge I have. So idk what tf she means with Southern Gothic. I've seen many users saying that a good example of Southern Gothic music is Ethel Cain. I read the lyrics to her album and I agree. It's dark, grotesque and disturbing. But that makes no sense for Lana imo, because she said the album was a heavy departure from her latest ones. So it makes no sense that she would go for these heavy themes again. So, my best guess would be that the album sounds and looks Gothic (like a dark swamp witch aesthetic, with eerie vibes) and it happens to be set in the South (since she lives there now), and she's using the expression Southern Gothic very loosely. Bc there's no way she's singing about all that again. Sorry for the essay, the caffeine just kicked in and I have a lot of free time this morning lmao
