The term dark culture (German Schwarze Szene, Portuguese cultura dark, Spanish escena oscura), also called "dark alternative scene", is an umbrella term, used to describe a summary of parts of several subcultures.^[1] In this context the "culture" is not to be understood as closed subculture, but as "social environment", a milieu, which comprises people with similar interests and preferences (e.g. dark music).^[2] Dark culture includes:

• the goth and dark wave culture
• elektro subculture (with genres like electro-industrial, aggrotech and dark electro)
• parts of the neofolk and post-industrial subcultures
• parts of the metal subculture (with genres like gothic metal, doom metal and black metal)
