Themes and reference points include weird tales and ghost story writers (especially some of the names that influenced HP Lovecraft), psychogeography (or the physical examination of the psychic qualities of our cities), renegade science, and nostalgia for half-remembered (or mis-remembered) films and television, typically science fiction and horror...

No, occulture is a name for the broad social network of various occultists and their differing philosophies. It's a portmanteau of 'Occult' and 'Culture'. If you google-fu the term, this is the definition most used. I believe the yahoo link actually is the only one to confuse its meaning.
