Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Shoegazing is a subgenre of alternative rock and Alternative Dance that was pioneered and popularised by My Bloody Valentine in the late 1980s-early 1990s. It's basically Psychedelic Rock taken Up to Eleven, with a sound characterised by a huge wall of guitars playing drone-based riffs, breathy Perishing Alt Rock Voice singing, pounding drumming and a mix that builds up everything into a huge wall of sound where the individual instruments blend together. In addition, a danceable undercurrent tends to lie beneath this wall of sound (some bands emphasised this to the point of straddling the line between shoegaze and Madchester). In short, a perfect combination of aggressive and dreamy. |
