i feel like as a gen z the reason shoegaze resonates so deeply with me and so many others years after its prime is just due to how well it can transcend boundaries like practically no other genre- its ambient, noisy, distorted, and ethereal with just the right amount of nostalgia that u cant really recreate with words how melted the music sounds and the youth can recognize no matter how long its been

Gen Xer here who adored the shoegaze bands when they were current (and resented the Britpop bands for supplanting them). Even at the time and place I grew up (suburban Dallas) there weren't lots of people into these bands. So I've been trying to evangelize My Bloody Valentine, Swervedriver, Slowdive, The Boo Radleys and the like to people for decades as well as following the neo-shoegaze and shoegaze-adjacent bands that have popped up in the meantime (Alcest, Ringo Deathstarr, Asobi Seksu, Nothing, Deafheaven, Alvvays, Parannoul, etc etc). It warms my heart that Gen Z is embracing it so much. The kids are alright.

I think the reason I love Shoegaze so much and why it’s such a huge comfort to me is because to me no matter how I feel, be it sad or angry or feeling on top of the world, it can just fit and pair with all those emotions. For example the song “When the sun hits” by Slowdive. It can be read as a sad song or even a spiteful song full of gloom with lyrics like “sweet thing I watch you burn away!” But also a hopeful and inspiring song especially with the lyric that flows into the chorus “It matters where you are!” Which is incredible because it makes the song bend around you and just help connect and confirm your feelings Xx
AWESOME VIDEO ❤

You know I’ve been wondering this for the longest time because I work on a record store here in Santiago, Chile and at least once a day some Z’er comes in and asks if we have either my bloody valentine’s loveless or Slowdive’s souvlaki and it’s always those two… i’ve talked to a couple of them and said that they should listen to other bands like ride, catherine wheel or whirr.
What I think it’s amazing though is what labels like numero are doing. Helping to grow Emo by putting out a lot of forgotten heroes of the genre. A lot of people have come to the store and ask me for Indian summer, moss icon and karate and some other alternative adjacent bands like Unwound and duster.
Love the content :)
