hia, can anyone tell me more about this? is it a genre or is it just elements of dreaminess/melancholy that can occur in all kinds of music? (just downloaded m83's new record which is pretty neat) thnx |

i would say its a genre i guess.. |

It was a real genre - but only had the spotlight during a few years in the late 80s and early 90s. I think bands with a similar sound today like Mercury Rev end up with the tag 'Neo-Psychedelic.' Tell me more about m83, I've never heard of the band. |

nice to see you Inverted! thanks for the info. i was wondering about it cause the m83 mp3 tags said this was shoegaze, and i certainly recognised elements from some post rock outfits |

i've been into shoegaze a lot lately. i wrote out a description of the genre. but then saw that the site dariusgriffin posted did a well enough job already. its funny how many dumb sub-genre titles there are in widespread use that have nothing to do with the music, and often initially came from journalists making fun of the artists (shoegaze, jungle, idm, trip hop, etc) i was surprised they didnt really mention slowdive though, they're probably my favorite band that gets lumped under the title. |

I'm a size 4 or 5 oh ! shoegaze my bad |

I remember it well....89/90/91. The term 'shoegaze' referred to 'indie' groups of that era(Ride,Slowdive,Lush,My bloody Valentine etc),who were constantly looking down at their feet while changing the effects on their guitar footpedals. HTH +;. |

Adore the genere...I loved the idea of submerging pretty vocals and harmonies and pop melodies beneath all that droning fuzzy guitar noise. My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive are my favourites. |

MBV is wonderful.... |

don't forget the Cocteau Twins! One of my favorites. Love spirals downwards isn't too bad but they are kinda hit or miss. there's also a ton of tiny unknown bands still doing this stuff apparently. Lovesliescrushing and Elysium come to mind but I really haven't explored it fully either. |

Lovesliescrushing is amazing. Also Alison's Halo, Auburn Lull...Galaxie 500...gosh..there are SO many. |

m83's new album is pretty incredible. I can't the right words to describe it. I'm going to turn it up to 11 and let it wash all over me... |
||||||||

i like it a lot, too. on a white lake near a green mountain is a seriously stunning piece. actually, the pitchforkmedia review describes it pretty much spot on ;) |

mbv are awesome, mercury rev is all right but not great, spiritualized is good too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
YES! Thanks for bringing M83 to my attention, ''Dead Cities Blah Blah Blah'' is incredible. An album so good, it salvaged a horrible weekend. Oresome! And Pitchfork sure licked its butt, eh... |

Shouldn't it be called "sneaker-gaze"? I can't imagine their choice of footwear would be polished, black wingtips... ;) |
