Dark Cabaret

Dark Cabaret is a genre that blends the theatrical flair of early 20th-century cabaret with the edgier sensibilities of post-punk and gothic music. Emerging in the late 20th century, it features haunting melodies, dramatic vocals, and an often macabre or satirical lyrical style. With its roots in the underground performance art scene, Dark Cabaret is characterized by its use of piano, accordion, and strings, creating an eerie yet enchanting soundscape that evokes a sense of vintage glamour with a modern, shadowy twist.
