Why does this genre only have like 10 good albums?
>>130733458likely because it's not a real genre
>>130733469Unironically what's a real genre?
They forgot FSA..
>>130733458Because youre a casual genre tourist
>>130733458I don't see Chapterhouse here
>>130733458This looks like it was designed to personally offend Chris Ott
Escuchen a quannnic hace trmenda musica
>>130734118not a thing in shoegaze. there are countless zoomers who only care about the shoegaze label and go way too deep instead of going into other types of alt rock. shoegaze doesn't suffer from genre tourism at all
>>130733458such a simple chart and yet so retarded. soda is clearly derived from ride not slowdive lmao. all the descriptors are terrible
>>130733458I finally got around to checking out that kairon irse album and discovered that its total fucking forgettable garbage. Describing it as shoegaze is an insult to the genre. The creator of this chart clearly has a surface level engagement with the genre and zero taste
>>130733458shoegaze was a sort of media construction in the 90s. "the scene that celebrates itself", snarky term by the music mags for an insular camden bar scene that included some britpop bands. then "shoegaze" as a term for wall of sound bands that "stared at their shoes"it starts to get really canonized as a set genre more in the 2000s. the 90s retrospective shoegaze movement is taking the few top bands and mashing them with the mediocre trendsters of the day like chapterhouse
Name a (sub)genre with >10 good albums.
Asobi Seksu was pretty good live not sure about their albums
>>130733458Because the bands don’t make any money
>>130733458because you are excluding NU-Gaze. I don't see The Pumpkins' Siamese Dream on this list. Half of the album is shoegaze.
>>130734930Siamese Dream is inspired by loveless and both of these albums are too good to be called shoegaze
>>130733458>he thinks an RYM chart represents the genrefirst mistake
>no Alison's Halo - Eyedazzler>no Astrobrite - pinkshinyultrablast>no BJM - Methodrone>no Chapterhouse - Whirlpool>no Amp - Astralmoonbeamprojections>no LSD and the Search for God - s/t>no Flying Saucer Attack - s/t>no Skywave - Synthstatic or Echodronepeople who make guides or essentials charts about genres they know nothing of should be killed. nothing painful or drawn out, Im not a psycho, just two in the back of the head or something
>>130733469thisit was a scene that lasted like 6 months in the UK in 1992not even as big as baggy or grebo
>>130735512based. btw shoegaze was a subgenre of baggy
>>130735512>Grebothis even had some success in the US. jesus jones and emf are basically from this scene
>>130734696Apparently they considered fucking Blur part of that scene. I've seen people call Leisure shoegaze
>>130735681theres a couple shoegazey tracks on there like sing, but blur were mentioned more as part of the social scene. thats the point, at the time it was more about that, loosely associated bands who would drink and play frequently in a part of london called camden
Who cares? Noise rock is 100 times better than that effeminate piece of shit genre whose only audience are tiktok zoomer freaks.
>>130735854this but loveless is noise rock not shoegaze
>>130735512>not even as big as baggy or greboAnd yet no one cares about shit nowadays.
>>130735512>>130735672Grebo was cringeNed's Atomic Dustbin is one of the corniest bands of all time
>>130733458It has a lot of good albums, if you're into that sound.Fags saying it's not a genre are retarded too.
>>130735854Zoomers dont even listen to shoegaze. They listen to crap like deftones
>>130733458it's a style, not a genre
>>130734114This, along with Starflyer 49, and LSD and the search for God
>>130735512>NOBODY EVEN CARED AT THE TIMEand now they do and don't give a shit about those other things, get with the times grandpa
>>130736046I'm just answering the question as to why there's only about 3 bands and 5 albums anyone knows. everything else has been dredged up from obscurity.
