Witch House

Witch house is a dark, experimental music genre characterized by its use of distorted, fuzz-laden synthesizers, haunting atmospheres, and often, deliberate mistreatment of sound. Emerging in the late 2000s, primarily in the United States and Europe, witch house drew inspiration from noise, industrial, and electronic music, as well as gothic rock and hip hop. The genre's popularity peaked around 2010-2012, with its DIY ethos and lo-fi production aesthetic resonating with the underground music scene. Witch house's cultural significance lies in its rejection of mainstream music norms, embracing instead a sense of sonic chaos and discomfort. Notable for its use of deliberately poor production quality, witch house distinguishes itself from similar genres like industrial and noise through its emphasis on rhythm and melody, often incorporating elements of trap and drill. This unique blend of dark, aggressive soundscapes and catchy, repetitive beats has captivated audiences seeking a more intense and transgressive musical experience.
