Dark cabaret may be a simple description of the theme and mood of a Cabaret performance, but more recently has come to define a particular musical genre which draws on the aesthetics of the decadent, risque German Weimar-era cabarets, burlesque and Vaudeville shows with the stylings of post-1970s goth and punk music. The term was first used in the mid-'90s by Sam Rosenthal in a darkwave mail-order catalog from Projekt to describe the Rozz Williams and Gitane Demone CD Dream Home Heartache. Cabaret proper had long had associations with counter-culture and dealt with disturbing themes, as exemplified by The Threepenny Opera by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, with one of its best known songs "Mack the Knife" ("Moritat von Mackie Messer") which tells the story of a murderous anti-hero, or the 1933 song "Gloomy Sunday" ("Szomoru Vasarnap") by Hungarian composer Rezso Seress with the more recent urban legends which have grown up around it.
