Gothic music is about existential angst and misanthropic cynicism/nihilism than it is about sadness. It’s more like impotent rage.

So the question that begs to be asked is if that same existential angst could be brought to the design of airports or gas stations. There could be a new market here.

I think the aestheticism helps with sharing the experience or provides a gathering point for it. Cherry blossom viewing in Japan is another example. Empty airport terminals are socially acceptable, but not glorified.
