DEEPLY ROOTED IN MUSIC CULTURE

Venom Culture is more than just a streetwear label

it is a movement, a subculture, a freedom of expression

YOUR IDENTITY IS NOT A TREND

We represent those who defy conventions, embracing the dark, the rebellious, and the avant-garde. A fusion of gothic, industrial rave, and hip-hop influences, infused with fetish-inspired elements and METAL AS FUCK tattoo designs.

  • WHO CREATED VENOM CULTURE?

    Raiden is a non-binary tattoo artist, living and working in Naarm. They can be found tattooing out of the proudly anti-fascist, all inclusive studio Roxxi's Tattoo in fitzroy. Raiden has lived a life of artistic rebellion and exploration of subcultures. Having grown up in the '90s, during the golden age of music videos, They witnessed firsthand how fashion was deeply intertwined with musical identity. From hip-hop to metal, punk to grunge, They were the weird "Art-kid" and were drawn to extreme subcultures, Raving and heavy body mods, but struggled to find clothing that represented their diverse influences. Hip-Hop, Metal, Punk, Industrial, Techno, EDM in almost all its forms, Raiden bathed in the bass infront of the speaker stack at many festivals across the world but struggled to find streetwear that that suited their dark artistic tastes. their love for DIY fashion peaked while living in Berlin, they wanted to make clothes that represented themselves and hopefully others would like it too.

  • HAVE YOU EVER QUIT A JOB TO ATTEND A MUSIC FESTIVAL?

    VENOM CULTURE knows the feeling...

    We are proudly anti capitalist and anti-fast fashion. Delivering only quality clothing you can wear til they are tattered threads barely clinging to your body in a mosh pit. Not following the throwaway fashion trends that only last a season. thats a waste of money and destroying our precious earth by ending up in landfill. We also provide upcycled goods scouted in opshops and modified with that DIY style to give you a unique piece that noone else has.

    Quit you're shitty job in one of our hoodies. Get out to a protest with a stealth black on black design. Wear a hand painted customised hat thats one of a kind. we got you.

  • QUEER CULTURE IS HERE TO STAY!

    All our clothing is non-gendered and uni-sex. society doesn't tell you how to dress, you do! Cut the sleeves off one of our tees and pair it with a skirt. wear an oversized baggy hoodie as a dress. Do it your way!

    HAVE YOU EVER BOUGHT A BAND T-SHIRT, PURELY FOR THE ART ON IT?

    So have we, And we are tired of being asked to "name 3 songs" like we dont deserve to wear what we want. Venom culture has artist designed images steeped in metal, goth and tattoo culture. You dont have to subscribe to "scene" to have permission to wear it.
