My exposure to goth music began in 2025 when I attended a Twin Tribes concert in Anaheim, California. The venue was dimly lit, but piercing strobe lights illuminated concertgoers’ dramatic goth makeup looks. With a twinkling guitar and a flitting dark-electronic tune in the background, the singer of the opening band condemned violent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids across America, garnering strong cheers from the audience.
