Shoegaze feels like there’s an intense beauty staring you in the face but it’s either unattainable or lost. The music being the hope/conduit that keeps you connected with it.
Omg yes!!! It definitely makes me feel a hopeful hopelessness especially with feelings of love. It often makes me remember my young teenage freedom & depression, or the way I felt watching someone I loved slowly waste away from heroin while I was high on other drugs. Or the way I felt when I FINALLY met my muse & main inspiration... my musical idol who I've had the BIGGEST crush on for 21 years since I was 13... who was by then unfortunately married and more famous than before, therefore unattainable... we met on a quiet, cool breezy night after his concert. He gave me a very long, genuine hug that felt so healing and I wanted to stay there and be held forever. I looked up and realized we were standing under a church with a soft warm white glowing cross on the steeple, the stars glowing behind it... and that feeling... THAT is shoegaze. ❤
Shoegaze and dream pop are the main genres that inspired me to start learning the guitar. I wanted to make music in the range of those genres, but since I only played keyboard I found it hard to get the guitar sounds I wanted. Now I just have to get good enough to make music with it.
I love how diverse Shoegaze is. Can range from heavy riffs like Shovel by Hum, or beautiful soundscapes like Starting Over by LSD and the Search for God. Or a flawless mix like Mayonaise by Smashing Pumpkins. That euphoric feeling and the fuzzy tones in this kind of music is just like no other. Scratches my brain perfectly. Quick recommendation: Pancake by Swirlies! Shoegaze af
Siamese Dream by the Pumpkins is an album thaty i loved back when i was at my grunge phase, and i'm loving it now even more with the Shoegaze background on me haha
Finally! I've always been into this genre, especially the "dreamier" side of it, but I never knew what the heck the genre was classified as. Awesome to learn more about it! Great vid
A while a go, a guy in Guitar Center and I got to talking when he overheard me playing random riffs on a bass, and he'd mentioned shoegaze. I wasn't sure about what that was, and he struggled to describe it but gave me a few band examples. This vid def helped explain some things for me. I have some homework to do. Thanks for posting this.
Souvlaki Space Station is the album that gives me that euphoric feeling of falling in love. It’s a heavenly feeling hard to describe . Pure masterpiece
Agree! However also give a good listen (or many!) to Slowdive's self-titled release from 2017. Worth the wait. Gorgeous! Also IMO a masterpiece and instant classic.
Im so happy to see Shoegaze becoming more popular with young people. I grew up on SF59 in the 90s and although their sound has changed over the years, their first two albums where shoegaze staples and expanded my musical interests.
Adding to the bands you mentioned, I'll dearly recommend Soda Stereo's "Dynamo". They were an Argentinian new wave/pop rock band, but their 1992 album "Dynamo" became the first shoegaze/dreampop album ever created in Latin America, and got cult status thanks to its timeless sound. Other Latin American bands I can recommend are Christianes and Silabario from Chile; Silvania and Resplandor from Peru; Vaya Futuro and Car Crash Sisters from my country Mexico.
This is like the _exact_ kind of music I’ve always been looking for ever since I was a kid, like the distorted sound and the very ethereal feel of it, but I never knew it’s an actual genre, at least not until today anyway. What a time to be alive, this is fucking awesome.
Slow dive and my bloody valentine have to be my favorite shoe-gaze artists. Arguably, Souvlaki is an absolutely amazing album with ‘ When the Sun Hits ‘ being my favorite song from the album.
I ended up here looking up videos of Sweet Trip and someone in the comments mentioned “shoe gaze”. It’s my favorite genre even though I didn’t know there was a genre. All the instrumental elements you explained are what makes me “feel something”.Great video.
The term shoegazers was first coined by a music journalist reviewing Slowdive and was used perjoratively. The same journalist I believe described their music as sounding like a Cocteau Twins demo tape. I would add that all shoegaze bands, whether they know it or not owe a debt to the Cocteau Twins more than any other band.
I thought the term Shoegaze came from a Sounds Magazine review of a Moose gig where Russell Yates spent more time looking down at his shoes then the audience
Coaltar of the Deepers does shoegaze so perfectly for me. Their discography is so diverse, I never get sick of them. I love how they can make the saddest song feel so calming and relaxing by the end. Like for example one of their most popular songs "No Thank You" is about suicidal urges, but by the end he changes his mind and says "No Thank You" hence the title.
Great work, man. The thing that drew me to shoegaze after years living in the Blues and garage rock, is that it’s the first “cool” style I’ve heard in which there’s room for something other than pain and heartbreak. It’s like that reverse reverb’s tail acts as a light at the end of the tunnel, and the delay hammers the point home. Anyways, starry-eyed ramble here that’s essentially grateful for channels like this one, that help a fella discover fantastic noises to turn his guitar into something more :)
I dig it. As an older gent, who was in my late teens and early 20's when the genres were new: I always thought the music press got it exactly backwards. The pop music that took texture and style from the Alternative, Indie "college rock" types of the mid to early 1980's should have been called "Grunge" while the bands who took moody introspection and self-effacing passive aggressive songwriting from those same bands should have been called "shoegaze". What I am saying is that a band like Swervedriver was taking texture and style choices from bands like Dinosaur, Sonic Youth, and JAMC, while a band like Alice in Chains was taking lyrical and structural choices from those same bands- so, since "grunge" is talking about texture, "shoegaze" connotes a withdrawn introversion- hence the switch. Great video in that I think you're exactly right to talk about the textural qualities.
@@pedalpartners in that case- another underexplored perspective is the relationship between "Goths" and "Psychedelic" music and how that got expressed and reacted to by the "Shoegazers" ( i.e. MBV started out sounding closer to the Cramps than Dino jr, and The Glove and The Siouxsie lp "A Kiss in the Dreamhouse" crossing over from Goth to Psyche)
@@mattvanmantgem8600 yeah, that's something i may touch on in a future video. as with most genres i find shoegaze is related to many other genres, such as the ones you mentioned & also post-rock. have a read of resonances: noise & contemporary music, i find it really interesting & touches on shoegaze in relation to psychedelia.
thanks so much michael! i have a bunch of other videos like this on my channel so hope you can check them out :) ruclips.net/p/PLpMkkb1SIQ_QfiPBdAje_nxRr8JVcwEp9
Shoegaze ended when 🇬🇧 Pop started. Lush , The Cranes , Ride , Slowdive , Chapterhouse , Catherine Wheel , Primal Scream paved the way. ✔ out Leave Them All Behind by Ride as the transitional song.
The holy trilogy of the genre are Jesus and MaryChain, My Boody Valentine, and Cocteau Twins. Slowdive, Ride and others was the second generation. But Coteau Twins and many Songs and albums of Slowdive sounds more like Dream Pop. And The Velvet Underground was named the most influencial band for the genre in the 80s. Shoegaze is more noise and thrashy than Dreampop.
Y'all are using Dreampop and Shoegaze to mean different things. Back in the day ( 1988-92) they were a bit more interchangable. I used to call it our new psychedelic but that didn't catch on....
@@doitnowvideosyeah5841 In stricted order, only Jesus and marychain and Mbv were the trully shoegazers. Cocteau Twins sounded more dreampopier. Some bands like Slowdive or lush, have a mixed sound. New Psychedelics maybe were the telescopes, Spiritualized or Spacemen 3, and even groups like Stone Roses, Primal Scream and a few from the Madchester scene.
I thought of Peripheral Vision by Turnover when watching this. I never realized the sound I loved so much on that album was ‘shoegaze’ influenced if not flat out ‘shoegaze’.
@@heassik3088 original music by myself :) see here for more violetoscillation.bandcamp.com abstractinsound.bandcamp.com dreamgazerreverberator.bandcamp.com
Nice summary of shoe gaze! Stumbled pretty late on shoe gaze with LUSH being my favorite. It was Grunge in the 90-96 era that overshadowed this great type of new music ... But eventually I found the beauty in it. Grunge disappeared, Shoegaze remained, just like a nice stubborn weed in your yard you can't get rid of and remains there as a reminder of the resilience of things and the beauty it ultimately represents. Can't kill weed, Can't kill Shoegaze ... No matter what you do ... 🤗
Nice job. As one who grew up during the first wave of shoe gaze, just need to draw you up on on statement. JAMC were influenced by The Velvet Underground, Stooges and the pop of The Shangra La's, not Sonic Youth or Dinosaur Jr as you suggest
Dude, excellent content. I am a massive ride fan but never looked much further. Thank you so much. Edit: thanks for the pedal partners points, I needed em
Because of this video, I discovered so many good bands (the others you mentioned besides MBV, Slowdive and Ride). They are absolutely amazing. THANK YOU!
Wow. I play a bow on a guitar and recently changed completely to use noise as a way to express more emotion . I didn't know what genre I was playing....this makes so much sense
I'm from Argentina and i indirectly discovered this genre by listening to one album made by a famous local band: "Dynamo" by Soda Stereo, relased in 1992. This is one of the most celebrated bands from here and they were pretty big in the 80's for its New Wave/Post Punk style that had super poppy hooks. However in the 90's, they completely shift the style with "Cancion Animal" in 1990 and after that was a pretty big hit, they shifted into a more Shogazy/Dreampop oriented album, since his leader and main songwritter, Gustavo Cerati, was a big fan of the genre back when it was flourishing. Keep in mind nobody here knew about Shoegaze, so he basiclly could sneak up a record with those influences under the Argentinian scene without anyone noticed, making it sound fresh and unique. I've always loved that record but never could figured why until i discover the bands you mention here, that we all know and love, circa 2018 or somewere at that time. I recomend to give that album a listen, specially if you're a Ride fan (Cerati was clearly a big one) also sheck some of the Soda Stereo Live performances from the era as well!
Great documentary. Only recently did I realise that the songs I liked all these years had a genre. I didn't know these bands, but I heard this sound in bands like Radiohead, The Smashing Pumpkins, Blur, and to an extent in ambient black metal / doom.
Great vid! Along with slowdive, mbv, chapterhouse, and ride, I’d highly recommend swervedriver, Catherine wheel, medicine, and kitchens of distinction - especially kitchen’s third album, the death of cool, which I think is easily one of the best albums out there. Also, never pass up on the chance for an mbv concert - they're amazing live too!
You should consider Dynamo from Soda Stereo. It’s the best shoegaze album in spanish. Obviously not every track but most of it have rock and space vibes. A perfect example could be En remolinos. You guys should listen to that track.
i always equated shoegaze with My bloody valentine kind of music and bands back in the day that would literally just stare at their shoes while playing live
cheers tyron! definitely sub for more like, just put out some in-depth videos on slowdive & mbv - ruclips.net/video/sZm_oOSWS2c/видео.html ruclips.net/video/EEr4NX-HR90/видео.html
Coaltar of the Deepers (Japan) actually got me into this type of music ("Fault" for example is a great song from them). I only discovered My Bloody Valentine after.
Oh boy... Thank you so much for giving me insight to this mystic genre, for opening the gates for me. This will be sooo dreamy expierience. Thank you and Vekhh blesses you, walk with an echo!
Don't think I've ever heard "The Cherry Pit" before. Listening to it is indeed giving me a feeling of jouissance.:) Nice video. I've never actually thought about shoegaze analytically before. [Basically just discovered the genre through loving Slowdive and searching out things similar to them].
@@pedalpartners Thanks. I've heard Air Formation before (they are pretty good as I remember)[I'd also add Tears Run Rings and Scarlet Youth]. I really need to catch up with some of the new shoegaze stuff though.
Im 50, but new to Shoegaze. I’ve heard of it, but not listened to it. Im also an ambient musician, so would like to incorporate elements of shoegaze into my productions. Thank you for the information. Wonderful video and commentary.
thanks for watching! feel free to sub for much more like it :) we put out ambient videos often as well & also release ambient tracks here dreamgazerreverberator.bandcamp.com/releases instagram.com/__dreamgazer
thanks for the video, ive gotten super interested in the genre in the past couple of days after being exposed to some japanese shoegaze particularly Kinoko Teikoku's Eureka album
Seems the only time I wish I made more money is when I see stuff like this... Still not conviced the Plasma pedal is worth 3 hundo though. Sticking to my guns and getting a Conquistador (already have a Pickle and love it but it's missing that one sound.) So while I enjoyed hearing it go through a Timeline, I can only hope others will enjoy hearing the Conq go through an SDD-3000.
This video is awesome. I'm new to shoegaze, so the explanation of the origin of the genre and listing off of bands in each of the styles was appreciated. Now I have a whole bunch of new music to listen to, thank you!
Thank you for making this video! I'll definitely be checking these bands out. The most beautiful song I've ever heard is Endroll by Mass of the Fermenting Dregs. I've been trying to find more music similar to that but with no luck so far. I'm excited to see where this journey takes me!

Shoegaze is the only musical genre that I both love and understand yet still have no clue what’s going on.
haha
That’s the best part of the genre!
Perfect comment Jakub. 👍
I'm 28 years old , I always knew this kind of music is I what I love, finally found it now, dreampop over shourgaze though.
coz shoegaze need no vocals😂🤣 we dunno what’s going on like death metal
Shoegaze feels like there’s an intense beauty staring you in the face but it’s either unattainable or lost.
The music being the hope/conduit that keeps you connected with it.
nice analogy Richard!

watch in 144p for true shoegaze visuals
haha
hahahhaahhah
hahaha
blakmetal
actually looks so good in 144p no joke.
"Slowdive - When the sun hits"
I have no words to describe that
amazing live as well

It’s art.

what a beautifully composed video
thank you!
love the presentation of the video - the visuals matching the audio
thanks so much! i put a lot of love into what i do :)
Holy crap, this was so well produced... You deserve so many more subs.
ah thanks dude!
Nice summary of shoe gaze! Stumbled pretty late on shoe gaze with LUSH being my favorite. It was Grunge in the 90-96 era that overshadowed this great type of new music ... But eventually I found the beauty in it. Grunge disappeared, Shoegaze remained, just like a nice stubborn weed in your yard you can't get rid of and remains there as a reminder of the resilience of things and the beauty it ultimately represents. Can't kill weed, Can't kill Shoegaze ... No matter what you do ... 🤗
I appreciate your effort of introducing that underrated music genre , unfortunately we live in a world , where great music are not represented
thanks for watching! we just released a new shoegaze single abstractinsound.bandcamp.com/releases
This is the best video about Shoegaze I’ve seen on YT and I’ve seen all of them.
this is so nice, thank you :)
Great video! Thanks for the insight and beautiful sounds/visuals.
thanks so much! many more videos like this on my channel ✨
Pure Phase By Spiritualized is a record filled with atmospherics. Really Brilliant.
JOHN MAYER IS NOT SHOEGAZEEEE
i love you!
Yer spare parts bud
HAHAHA
Absolutely beautiful once again. This is growing to be one of my favorite channels on the RUclips.
thanks my dude i try ;)
Nice job. As one who grew up during the first wave of shoe gaze, just need to draw you up on on statement. JAMC were influenced by The Velvet Underground, Stooges and the pop of The Shangra La's, not Sonic Youth or Dinosaur Jr as you suggest
Dude, excellent content. I am a massive ride fan but never looked much further. Thank you so much.
Edit: thanks for the pedal partners points, I needed em
hey! thanks so much for watching :) ride are from my hometown!
so pumped for this vid
my lad i am so relieved to get it out, it's truly a labour of love
Awesome... I am new to this, but I appreciate the style and sound, and the tech wizardry behind it. Cheers from Montréal!
Because of this video, I discovered so many good bands (the others you mentioned besides MBV, Slowdive and Ride).
They are absolutely amazing.
THANK YOU!
that's awesome to hear, thanks for watching!
I'm exploring this genre so big thanks for your video & this expansion knowledge. 👍💯🎸🎶
ah thanks so much, glad you enjoyed this - stay around for more like it!
I subbed & have watched a few other videos! 💯👍🎶🎸
Wow. I play a bow on a guitar and recently changed completely to use noise as a way to express more emotion . I didn't know what genre I was playing....this makes so much sense
oh that's really cool! there's lots of different genres that use noise for expression, check out post-rock & noise rock as well. thanks for watching!
...awesome...TWO thumbs up...short and to the point, no frills, bells and whistles....we 'gazers....we salute you........ !!......
thanks so much dude, appreciate it
I'm from Argentina and i indirectly discovered this genre by listening to one album made by a famous local band: "Dynamo" by Soda Stereo, relased in 1992. This is one of the most celebrated bands from here and they were pretty big in the 80's for its New Wave/Post Punk style that had super poppy hooks. However in the 90's, they completely shift the style with "Cancion Animal" in 1990 and after that was a pretty big hit, they shifted into a more Shogazy/Dreampop oriented album, since his leader and main songwritter, Gustavo Cerati, was a big fan of the genre back when it was flourishing. Keep in mind nobody here knew about Shoegaze, so he basiclly could sneak up a record with those influences under the Argentinian scene without anyone noticed, making it sound fresh and unique. I've always loved that record but never could figured why until i discover the bands you mention here, that we all know and love, circa 2018 or somewere at that time. I recomend to give that album a listen, specially if you're a Ride fan (Cerati was clearly a big one) also sheck some of the Soda Stereo Live performances from the era as well!
YES swervedriver is incredible, even nowadays albums like I Wasn't Born To Lose You have a timeless dreamy sound
been loving their newest music
Great video, now I know more about this genre
Great documentary. Only recently did I realise that the songs I liked all these years had a genre. I didn't know these bands, but I heard this sound in bands like Radiohead, The Smashing Pumpkins, Blur, and to an extent in ambient black metal / doom.
thanks for watching, it's my goal to share the love of shoegaze!
Deftones
This video gave me shivers. Your voice is soothing and you should definitely talk more in your videos. Thank you so much for this :)
thanks so much, means a lot. just checked out your channel {subbed}, some real nice sounds you're making with those tape loops!
Great vid! Along with slowdive, mbv, chapterhouse, and ride, I’d highly recommend swervedriver, Catherine wheel, medicine, and kitchens of distinction - especially kitchen’s third album, the death of cool, which I think is easily one of the best albums out there. Also, never pass up on the chance for an mbv concert - they're amazing live too!
thanks! those are all great bands you mention & i think it's the loudest thing in existence right?
This is an amazing video, thank you so much for the background and the knowledge!
thanks for the support dude!
You should consider Dynamo from Soda Stereo. It’s the best shoegaze album in spanish. Obviously not every track but most of it have rock and space vibes. A perfect example could be En remolinos. You guys should listen to that track.
i always equated shoegaze with My bloody valentine kind of music and bands back in the day that would literally just stare at their shoes while playing live
This is great Luca! Your voice is very pleasant. Great video good sir.
thanks my dude appreciate it
Brilliant explanation - THX man!
cheers tyron! definitely sub for more like, just put out some in-depth videos on slowdive & mbv -

Thanks for your channel!
Exclusive material ❤️
thanks!
this video it's self was an experience
thanks so much :)
Coaltar of the Deepers (Japan) actually got me into this type of music ("Fault" for example is a great song from them). I only discovered My Bloody Valentine after.
Oh boy... Thank you so much for giving me insight to this mystic genre, for opening the gates for me. This will be sooo dreamy expierience. Thank you and Vekhh blesses you, walk with an echo!
thanks for watching :)
this video was so beautifully put together, i've literally been brought to tears. thank you.
ah that's awesome, thank you so much
Thank you bro for your explanation about shoegaze! This is very helpful for me! Especially for my riset🙏🏻☺️
thanks dude
Don't think I've ever heard "The Cherry Pit" before. Listening to it is indeed giving me a feeling of jouissance.:) Nice video. I've never actually thought about shoegaze analytically before. [Basically just discovered the genre through loving Slowdive and searching out things similar to them].
thank you! glad it did. check out southpacific & air formation for more slowdive vibes. slowdive are also my favourite ;)
@@pedalpartners Thanks. I've heard Air Formation before (they are pretty good as I remember)[I'd also add Tears Run Rings and Scarlet Youth]. I really need to catch up with some of the new shoegaze stuff though.
It was insane, thank you!
I discovered some band and just for that, it's marvelous!
You're the best
thank you so much! so happy you enjoyed the video, keep on gazin'
Im 50, but new to Shoegaze. I’ve heard of it, but not listened to it. Im also an ambient musician, so would like to incorporate elements of shoegaze into my productions. Thank you for the information. Wonderful video and commentary.
thanks for watching! feel free to sub for much more like it :)
we put out ambient videos often as well & also release ambient tracks here

thanks for the video, ive gotten super interested in the genre in the past couple of days after being exposed to some japanese shoegaze particularly Kinoko Teikoku's Eureka album
thanks for watching! have fun out there :)
awesome !!...very straightforward.....simple, concise and neat..LOVE the presentation... i fucking LOVE shoegaze...since day 1 !!....
gaze on!
Seems the only time I wish I made more money is when I see stuff like this... Still not conviced the Plasma pedal is worth 3 hundo though. Sticking to my guns and getting a Conquistador (already have a Pickle and love it but it's missing that one sound.) So while I enjoyed hearing it go through a Timeline, I can only hope others will enjoy hearing the Conq go through an SDD-3000.
the sdd-3000 looks pretty sick! i don't think creative ever needs to be compromised by lack of gear, just go with whatever suits you dude! :)
So glad I discovered this channel! Awesome content 🧡
thanks so much! glad you enjoy my videos :)
Incredible research! I'm so happy to finally put a name to the music that I've come to love, thank you!
This video is awesome. I'm new to shoegaze, so the explanation of the origin of the genre and listing off of bands in each of the styles was appreciated. Now I have a whole bunch of new music to listen to, thank you!
that's awesome! i listed out as many bands as possible for everyone to get into! hope you find some gems ;)
thanks for explaining what shoegaze genre are, i always feels somekind of emotion that i can't explain when i listening to showgaze genre
thanks for watching, i feel it too!
Thank you for making this video! I'll definitely be checking these bands out.
The most beautiful song I've ever heard is Endroll by Mass of the Fermenting Dregs. I've been trying to find more music similar to that but with no luck so far. I'm excited to see where this journey takes me!
thank you! just had a quick listen. try slowdive, pinshinyultrablast, blankenberge, yuragi & the most recent diiv record 'deceiver.' thanks again :)
THANKYOU FOR THIS!!!

Very great descriptions about a Fantastic Music style! 😍Thanks! 👍
glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
Good on you!!! Excellent video👍😁
This feels like another side of LoFi Hip Hop, I love both genres since they feel so similar but they’re so different. God damn I love music so much!
Who deserves more subs? This guy right here
ah thank you dude :)
@@pedalpartners seriously though your production value does not reflect the amount of subs you have this is fantastic
An amazing shoegaze band is 'Daughter'
my favourite album is 'Not To Disappear'
a truly magical experience, really recommend
Love Daughter!! Try out ammoniawash.bandcamp.com/album/erasure-poems
