ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Belarusian Gothic

Belarusian Gothic is a type of art and music that has a spooky and dark feeling to it. It comes from the country of Belarus, which is in Europe.

Think about Halloween - when people dress up in spooky costumes and decorate their houses with things like spiders, bats, and cobwebs. Belarusian Gothic is kind of like that, but as art and music.

The art might show scary things like ghosts or skeletons, while the music might have sounds that make you feel scared or nervous. The people who like and make Belarusian Gothic art and music enjoy this feeling of being scared, and think it's interesting and cool.

It's kind of like a different way to celebrate Halloween all year long! But remember, it's just pretend and not real scary things.
