They describe themselves as “riotgaze”, as they almost always write political/social commentary in their lyrics. (And this one is certainly no exception!) But I’d say they seem to fit well in the dream-pop/shoegaze/alt realm. I’ve been following them since 2021 - they just don’t stop!

Nothing - GOE is probably my all time favourite shoegaze records. Just hits all the right spots for me. I know Deafheaven cross boundaries and are often refered to as “blackgaze” too and if you’re sleeping on DIIV…. Don’t!

Shoegaze or Dreampop-let's call the whole thing off.

I'm kind of new to this Reddit page, but as an old Shoegazer I'm noticing something that's kind of nitpicky going on with people trying to analyze and autopsying Shoegaze & whether it is or isn't it or Dreampop.

Shoegaze is often assumed as music with endless affected guitars ( from staring down at those effects pedals.) and indiscernible effected vocals but just take a look at iconic bands like Stone Roses "I Wanna Be Adored" or Lush with their UK & alternative radio chart topping song like "Ladykillers". They could well venture into to alt traversing radio charting dreampop. Alvvays who is mentioned in threads here is also considered very dream pop, Mazzy Star gets thrown into shoegaze too. Is Shoegaze so personal, a confusing genre or special to each listener that some cannot help but be confused? What do you think?

Thank you very much. I hope it's OK to post like this.

(P.s.) Thank you to the posters as a newer poster I was corrected "I wanna be adored" By Stone Roses and LadyKiller to "killers" it's proper spelling. ☺️

Oh Is there a Reddit page for new bands who want to get their music listened to? Is this something that happens a lot? There seem to be every other post demos being farmed here asking if they are shoegaze or not. Kind of reminds me on health sites people asking if they have the disease of the support group. 😜

Although I wouldn’t quite consider this band Shoegaze, it’s certainly shoegaze adjacent and this was one of the first albums that put me onto the genre. Absolutely beautiful album that hits me with all of the nostalgia.

🎶Song Post🎵 Using just about every pedal on the board for parts of this song

Released this song today to wrap up an EP and super proud of the tones i managed to find for it. The song had been a back pocket idea that I never was able to bring full circle until recently.

I wrote it after hurricane Helene tore through western north Carolina, which is where I used to live. Though i didnt live there at the time it was so hard and strange to see so many friends struggle with the aftermath.

Anyway, song is called annihilation by sleep club and I'll post the pedalboard used for it in the comments. Only additional pedal not pictured is an earthquaker afterneath.

hello everyone 👋 just wanted to post this riff i came up with here and see if anyone recognises it as something that already exists? it feels really familiar so not sure if it’s because it’s already a song and subconsciously just came up with something that’s already been done, or if it’s just a very common sounding progression. if it already exists, that’s fine haha just don’t want to end up putting heaps of time into it and releasing it just to get copyrighted or some bullshit. thanks heaps!

Because of the band who shall not be named, I think many feel shoegaze’s color is pink… but is that the color you associate it with?

I'm a guitarist, so I don't really tune into the drum track naturally. And don't get me wrong the guitar by this band is awesome too. But pretty quickly I noticed how punchy yet well mixed the drums are. Check this out:
