Dare I ask what shoegaze is?
It was part of a 90s alt-rock movement in europe that mixes dream pop and noise pop. Basically lots of things sound blended together, but bands on the noisier side like My Bloody Valentine, the guitars sound more like jet engines rather than anything lol. They called it shoegaze because the guitarists have to press on a lot of foot pedals and basically stare at their shoes.
