Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~shoegazing_mbv_8089~~shoegazing mbv 8089.jpg\|link=My Bloody Valentine (band)\|right]] '''Shoegazing''' is a subgenre of alternative rock and Alternative Dance that was pioneered and popularised by [[My Bloody Valentine (band)\|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. While shoegazing is basically [[Psychedelic Rock]] taken [[Up to Eleven]], it was influenced by [[Dream Pop]]'s emphasis on sound over actual song, and indie [[Noise Rock]] bands such as [[Sonic Youth]], [[Dinosaur Jr.]], [[The Jesus and Mary Chain]] and [[Velvet Underground]].

Once they reinvented themselves as a noisy art-rock band, some of their shoegazing influence started to reemerge on ''Blur'' and ''13''. ==Second wave or "Nu Gaze" bands:== * Asobi Seksu * Amusement Parks on Fire Line 62 ⟶ 59: * Faunts (blends with [[Dream Pop]]) ==[[Darker and Edgier]] shoegaze bands:== * [[Singapore Sling]] * [[A Place to Bury Strangers]] Line 69 ⟶ 65: * [[Have A Nice Life]] =="Metalgaze" bands:== * [[Jesu]] * The Angelic Process Line 80 ⟶ 75: {{reflist}} [[Category:Alternative Rock]] [[Category:~~index~~Index]] [[Category:Shoegazing]] [[Category:Music Genres]]
