shoegaze is literally one of the most beautiful genres ever created. its atmospheric, its heavy, and the guitars are absolutely incredible. the sound is like...being in a cloud which is getting hit wit a hammer, its athmospheric and cool but sometimes heavy as shiitt. so the reason its called "shoegaze" is because the guitarists literally look down at their shoes on stage. and thats because they have so many pedals on their pedalboard lmao.
