What Is ZoomerGaze?

[nelliesnellie]

Wonderful news! The kids are listening to Shoegaze. And making their own spin on the sounds with something certain netizens are most unfortunately calling Zoomergaze.

I got into the genre in its early 2010s revival, putting me squarely in the awkward spot between the hip 17 year olds and the cooler-than-you gen x'ers mehehehehe.

Anyway kids, listen to the new shit, and listen to the 90s classics, but don't forget to check out the plethora of awesome 2000s/2010s shoegaze-inspired bands (nugaze?). I'm talking Ringo Deathstarr. School of Seven Bells. The Radio Dept. Pinkshinyultrablast. All good shit.

my girlfriend was making fun of my interpretive dance routine i was doing to nfl films music on call last night so basically im in the market for a new girlfriend hmu if you fw zoomergaze

[killerlookz]

my most toxic music trait is that i unironically enjoy zoomergaze … like wisp? trauma ray? novulent? it’s so good GIVE IT TO ME … like idc you cant listen to nühevan or id stay forever and say the genre doesn’t bang. you just have to weed out the good bands who are actually doing shoegaze revival 😗

[archacovercosine]

the problem with a genre getting a big wave of popularity is how much garbage is going to be shuffled out there, and as always the average person is not that distinguishing. But on the other hand, there is a lot more volume so there should be more good material too.

Anyway, if someone had actually good zoomergaze recommendations that are not just the same-sounding guitar sample, please do let me know.
