👉 Nationally macabre refers to a pervasive theme that infuses various aspects of a society's culture, often through folklore, literature, art, and traditions filled with morbid or macabre imagery, creating an atmosphere where death and the macabre are omnipresent. This macabre sensibility can reflect societal anxieties, historical traumas, or provide a space for exploring existential themes in ways that feel both unsettling and reflective.
