    Shoegaze grew out of the post-punk alternative rock scene of the 1980s, and involved a lot of experimentation with effects in ways and to extents they hadn't been previously used in popular music, particularly with guitars, amps, and pedals that were less popular with the mainstream musicians of the era, because those were not in high demand and therefore affordable and available.
    In the 1980s, what have now come to be known as the Fender "offset" guitars-Jazzmasters, Jaguars, Mustangs, Duo-Sonics, etc-were far cheaper to buy used because they had fallen out of fashion. Similarly, the silver panel Fender Twin Reverb amps of the 1970s had fallen out of favor, and could be found for relatively low prices, at least partly because they were just too loud; they wouldn't start to distort until you turned them up to obscenely high volumes, necessitating the use of overdrive and distortion pedals. The 1980s were also the era of the first widespread availability of high quality affordable effects pedals from companies like Boss, Electro-Harmonix, and others.
    The term "shoegaze" itself was coined by a British music journalist, and was intended to be a derisive term for bands of the era who weren't very "rock star" like on stage, and partly due to introversion and partly due to the use of effects pedals on stage, spent a lot more time looking downward than outward toward the audience, "gazing at their shoes". The British music press has a habit of harshly reviewing up and coming trends in music. But while shoegaze can be said to have coalesced in Britain, it was never an exclusively British phenomenon. The early British shoegaze bands counted many American and global acts as influences, and a distinctly American shoegaze scene developed concurrently.

    Shoegazing is not exactly only reverb, fuzz, chorus, distorted amp…. Showgaze is simply enough “staring at your pedals/shoes” when you perform.

      Yes, and I think also because they were generally on the introvert side and were at ease not looking and talking much at the audience.

    You're going to be the harp queen of, like, all the traditionally non-harp genres soon, if you keep it up.

    Near crippling stage fright not included.
    I always felt that was at the root of the whole head down while on stage thing. They're looking at their guitars but add some long messy hair in the mix and you can't tell what they're looking at. It catches on, more people do it, so some journalist just eventually decided to call it shoe gazing, and a subgenre is born.

    ... Last night I was showing our bassist's kid how to yoyo, so I was looking up what yoyos are popular these days. Then I got overwhelmed by all the new yoyo culture. I thought, that's enough yoyo, I'm gonna watch this harp video.

    I barely started the video, but as someone who loves shoegaze I recommend a very underground and underrated band called Lovesilkpalemilk (morgonstund is my favorite track) and Thränenkind (which is not that underground), that's it, I love your videos! Ok, I'm back to say I loved the track you guys played in the end, that's lovely!

    • @brunosco

      It’s still on Apple Music, though and… oh! It’s a mix between shoegaze and death metal or so! At least the song I’m hearing now… Interesting!

    i love when shoegaze incorporates instruments that aren’t usually used in that kind of music. Everybody should check out Wednesday, they’re an amazing band that blends shoegaze with country and uses a pedal steel.

  • @debracisneroshhp2827

    Emily, Russ, and Ian,
    Never heard of 'shoegaze' before this. And after Ian's explanation I thought, "OK, I guess I'm too old__I'm just not into all the fuzzy distortion stuff. That's why I was never into the 'acid rock' as a teenager."
    HOWEVER, once you started playing as a band, gotta say, it was kind of nice__interesting, for sure!
    Sometimes I'm totally lost on all the pedal and game stuff you guys are all into but, I always learn something here__and, for sure, I enjoy the music! Thanks for being 'you'. 🎶💎
    Hope we have the opportunity to meet up on your visit to "SoCal". 😱😛😹
    Love, Light, and Harpy Blessings. 🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌😺

    That was a great video. I'm a fan of shoegaze now, especially of "Does It Shoegaze" (it does!). Awesome new song and awesome performances. I'm left with a growing interest in the genre and awful G.A.S. for ALL of those pedals! 👍
