I've been obsessed with Shoegaze for years and this is a playlist I made of classics mixed with some contemporary/lesser known jams. Worth a listen
Jemsy’all just wait till i’m in a shoegaze band with 1000 monthly listeners
muffMan.Is sweet trip shoegaze?
I just searched on Spotify and already had a mix for it. boutta dive deep into it
tawmiLove me some Sweet Trip and Magdalena Bay but I can't say I'm more than a casual fan. Always perplexed when people call like proper electronic artists "shoegaze" though lmao. Both of Porter's studio albums are listed as such and it's so weird

Batemanby the way, Shoegaze is pronounced like Fugazi

ankI don't think loveless can be topped
it's like top 3 album of all time for me and soon is the greatest song Ive ever heard, it sounds like an happy ending to an emotional and overwhelming dream
weatcoastI was playing the album on my walk home from class today and had an epiphany about that song cus I’ve never really put the time into listening to the entire album and holy fuck is that shit magical. Feels exactly like what you described.
ankThe new BrokenTeeth album is real good
Fuck kpop korean shoegaze is where it's at
BradFiAusNzCoCaI listen to shoegaze but didn’t realize that’s what it’s called until recently
BradFiAusNzCoCaMy wife says I like lesbian rock. Upon further inspection, quite a lot of my Spotify saved songs are shoegaze and shoegaze is what she’s referring to lmao
Jemstake a screenshot of whatever songs your talking about cause spotify will proudly call bands like deftones shoegaze. i woudlnt call shoegaze lesbian rock either since a big chunk of the fanbase is autistic virgins. she must be thinking of bands like boy genius.
BradFiAusNzCoCaPaul above posted his playlist and two artists, Tanukichan and my bloody valentine, are two she would probably consider. But the lesbian rock is more a joke. Mostly she means the (almost) mournful voice.
Boygenius is not even close to what she is referencing. I had to look them up lmao
Would you consider a sock like Dumb by pretty sick as shoegaze or is it a little too strong/upbeat?

BradFiAusNzCoCaI keep remembering things/songs and it’s too late to edit so that’s why I keep replying to myself.
Would you consider a song like Our red door by Jay som as shoegaze?
JemsNo that’s dream pop, they’re quite similar and the terms are sometimes used interchangeably but shoegaze usually has a lot more volume, distortion, and the “vacuum cleaner” sound. i mean her spotify says she’s a dream pop artist anyways.
BradFiAusNzCoCaWhere do you see the genre thing? I feel like a boomer looking for this stuff.
I tried to look up the vacuum cleaner thing. Can you give me a song example?
ankbabe wake up, new slowdive just dropped
Jemsso many people love it but i honestly don’t care for it. wish they took a more traditional approach to production, especially with the drums.
