The Friday Night Parkdale Special
Music:Music History
We're going to hang out in 2003 for a little while longer, so pull out your Tripp pants and your Demonias and let's have some fun. Oh--and also some education. There's at least one artist in this bunch who's got the stank of racism on them, and while it would be easy to just not play their stuff, I don't want to be dishonest about what we were listening to then, and I think it's important to contextualize that in modern terms. Goth is supposed to be welcoming. Goth is political. It always has been. Racism and sexism is contemptible. It's beneath us. We can do better. We need to do better.
For more in-depth information, check out It's Midnight Somewhere's episode on problematic artists, and be sure to watch the excellent piece by Ad·ver·sary and Antigen Shift which I reference in this episode. Coilhouse also has a fantastic post on misogyny in industrial music which I highly recommend.
