@YuyoDrift Thanks for that and I'll try to read that book. Btw I never said that shoegaze wasn't a long time ago lol. Anyway thanks again.

You should give the documentary "Beautiful Noise" a try, it actually details the rise and ''fall'' of the biggest acts in the 'gaze scene. It's not entirely perfect for people who don't know what the fuck the scene is about, but you'll at least get an idea of the scene to some extent.

They're basically most likely either gazing at their shoes because a) they're kinda awkward in some sense or b ) they need to deal w/ their effect pedals

Also listen to My Bloody Valentine's Loveless, Slowdive's Souvlaki, Ride's Nowhere and The Jesus and Mary Chain's Psychocandy if you want to get an impression of the scene, they're basically the biggest names you'll find out there.

Also check out A Place To Bury Strangers' album Exploding Head just because it's fucking awesome lol
