history

In autumn 2009 the brothers Nicola and Janosch Tröhler founded the online magazine Negative White. The name has its origin in a well-known saying of the Gothic scene : "White is also only negative black."

The online magazine started on January 1, 2010 with a report on a concert by the Swiss rock band Spencer . In the first year, the reporting was mainly limited to the Swiss Gothic scene. In May 2011 the editorial team switched from its own CMS to Wordpress and opened up to other musical styles such as pop. The literature department was introduced for this purpose.

In 2014 the website was redesigned again and a new logo was introduced. The magazine was expanded to include the “Life” section. Since December 2014, Negative White has been offering an English-language website under the name “Negative White International”, which differs from the German version in terms of content.

The non-commercial association Negative White was founded on March 24, 2017 and has been publishing the online magazine since then.

Negative White employees work on a voluntary basis. In order to cover the costs of the infrastructure, the online magazine offers partnerships with organizers. In 2017 Negative White launched a membership model and a web shop with its own merchandise.
