Hauntology is a music genre[1][2] or a loosely defined stylistic feature[3] that evokes cultural memory and aesthetics of the past.[4] It developed in the 2000s primarily among British electronic musicians,[5][6] and typically draws on British cultural sources from the 1940s to the 1970s, including library music, film and TV soundtracks, psychedelia, and public information films, often through the use of sampling.[1]
The term was derived from philosopher Jacques Derrida's concept of the same name. In the mid-2000s, it was adapted by theorists Simon Reynolds and Mark Fisher.[1] Hauntology is associated with the UK record label Ghost Box, in addition to artists such as the Caretaker, Burial, and Philip Jeck.[1] Music genres hypnagogic pop and chillwave descended from hauntology.
