I often use the term ‘witch house’ to describe anything but the music that the genre title originated from. We are now in what seems to be a ‘post-witch house’ era, where no one wants to be labeled as witch house anymore. With that in mind, I do not associate it with the music anymore. For me, witch house referes to the washed up, now sort of trashy, remnants of American culture that adhere to some sort of nostalgia. Or it is American values or ideals (often outdated) applied to other cultures. It is like looking at blogs of random old family photos that people have collected. It is interesting for no reason other than that in some weird way you can relate to the images on some level. Maybe you feel like you have seen them before in your own house, maybe you can imagine the backgrounds of the pictures to be the interiors of your grandparent’s house or you can imagine your own family wearing the same styles that the people in the photographs are wearing. There is always something dark about these photos, they show a non romanticized version of Americana. I am guessing that comes from the original witch house’s&
