Goth’s not dead: How a subculture survived over 40 years in Texas (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Deep into the night, heat from the 100-degree day radiates off the sidewalk outside of Elysium, Austin's oldest goth bar. It'll celebrate 25 years this year. By 10 p.m. on the Sunday I went, dancers covered the floor. Not all were in the traditional goth get-up planted in our cultural consciousness by Hollywood.
