It's Witch House Week!
Witch house (sometimes referred to as
drag) is a music genre. The term witch house started out as a joke that was originally used to describe
occult-based
house music by Travis Egedy (commonly known by the stage name
Pictureplane) and his friends in 2009.
[1][2][3] As the
internet meme grew in popularity, shortly after being
pitched to
Pitchfork Media,
[4] blogs and other mainstream music press began to actively continue the use of the term for
marketing purposes, and thus now the label is loosely used to describe a subgenre of
industrial music.
