Xmortis
Xmortis is a monthly goth night held on the second Friday of the month in Cambridge, Massachusetts. History Xmortis was started in July 2004. The event was founded by Latex Lily and Patman the Avenger, who at the time were a longtime couple in the Boston goth scene. Their romance was featured in the Boston Globe. Xmortis' predecessor was a goth event called ''Hell'' (known for its catchy title; event-goers could say they were "going to Hell"). ''Hell'' was held monthly at Manray, Boston's best-known goth club, until the event ended in its 11th year. Xmortis continued the tradition at Manray until the club's close in July 2005. Xmortis was then moved across the street to the well-known rock club T.T. the Bear's Place. In July 2015 T.T.'s closed, and the event moved next door to the Middle East Downstairs, with DJ Chris Ewen of the Future Bible Heroes and a range of guest DJs. Themes Though Xmortis is a goth night, the events typically feature a different theme each month. Past th ...

Goth Subculture
Goth is a music-based subculture that began in the United Kingdom during the early 1980s. It was developed by fans of Gothic rock, an offshoot of the post-punk music genre. The name ''Goth'' was derived directly from the genre. Notable post-punk artists who presaged the gothic rock genre and helped develop and shape the subculture include: Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus, the Cure, and Joy Division. The goth subculture has survived much longer than others of the same era, and has continued to diversify and spread throughout the world. Its imagery and cultural proclivities indicate influences from 19th-century Gothic fiction and from horror films. The scene is centered on music festivals, nightclubs, and organized meetings, especially in Western Europe. The subculture has associated tastes in music, aesthetics, and fashion. The music preferred by goths includes a number of styles such as gothic rock, death rock, cold wave, dark wave, and ethereal wave. Styles of dress wi ...
