Gothic Americana/ Alt-Country/ Dark Cabaret

Hello children,

It's been over a year since I last visited this little hideaway. I am delighted to see you are stubbornly sticking around, despite the stagnant nature of this genre.

I'm about to begin a research paper and am considering writing about this genre, at least the americana/country parts of it, perhaps briefly mentioning the dark cabaret.

My question for you good people to ponder is, what would be an interesting article to read concerning this style? I would like to stay away from a historical rendering. I also would not like to focus too much on one band/artist.

I am considering focusing on a question, like, "Will this genre every see the respect like it's literary counterpart?" or "Could this genre ever catch on and become more accessible?"

Thoughts?
