American Gothic aka Gothic Country Rock (Southern Gothic & Death Country)

Southern Gothic is a subgenre of gothic fiction unique to American literature that takes place exclusively in the American South. It resembles its parent genre in that it relies on supernatural, ironic, or unusual events to guide the plot. It is unlike its parent genre in that it uses these tools not solely for the sake of suspense, but to explore social issues and reveal the cultural character of the American South.

The southern gothic style is one that employs the use of macabre, ironic events to examine the values of the American south.

Deathcountry is a sub-genre of country music, particularly alternative country. It is best described as being traditional country music with a morbid anarchist punk rock and psychobilly attitude.
