Shoegaze is a style of indie and alternative rock with ethereal vocals, guitar distortion and effects, and overwhelming volume. It emerged in the late 1980s in Ireland and the UK, influenced by neo-psychedelia, post-punk, and dream pop, and was popularized by bands like My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, and Ride.
