Triangle Goth, aka Witch House (Drag or Haunted House), is an occult-themed genre and visual aesthetic that emerged in the late 2000s. The Triangle Goth aesthetic includes occult, witchcraft, shamanism, horror-inspired artworks, collages, photographs, and significant use of typographic elements such as Unicode symbols. Many works by Witch House visual artists incorporate themes from horror films such as The Blair Witch Project, the television series Twin Peaks, and mainstream pop culture celebrities. Common typographic elements in artist and track names include triangles, crosses, and other Unicode symbols, which are seen by some as a method of keeping the scene underground and harder to search for on the Internet, as well as references to the television series Twin Peaks and Charmed.
Triangle Goth is also heavily influenced by hazy 1980s goth bands, including Cocteau Twins, The Cure, Christian Death, Dead Can Dance, and certain industrial and experimental bands, such as Psychic TV and Coil.
You might be a Triangle Goth if,
- You love triangles.
- All band names you like are in Unicode.
- You chop up Southern hip-hop and make it sound creepy
- You're just really fucking scary, honestly
