    Ok so can someone tell me what people mean by shoegaze? Because from what I've gathered it's not even a musical genre and has no defining characteristics. But yet I've literally seen people argue as to weather or not a band is shoegaze and discuss it as though it's a genre. Could someone help me out?

      "gazing at your shoes" is the most popular theory of how shoegaze came to be.

      Something about the setlists being taped on the ground, so it looks like they're looking at their feet.

      Also because sometimes you tend to focus on one thing when you play an instrument, as it helps concentration.

       

      Is Shoegaze a genre?

      No more than Grunge was in the nineties, or Indie music of today imo.

      More like "an era" of music. Elements of that era that are still used today.

       

      I read a book on it lol hold on. It was a long time ago (shoegaze has been around longer than you think).

      @Bearused a perfect example.

       

      Here's the book I read.

      I tried to find the chapter that spoke about shoegaze, so feel free to read that.

      It means they stare at their shoes so hard they burn holes in them.
