Your Definition
A genre originating in 80s England, now [international]. Defined by highly distorted guitars, and vocals, usually high-and-breathless or low [in the mix], sometimes absent. A psychedelic style, but not "trippy" psychedelic, more a dreamy, distant feel. Pioneeered by My [Bloody Valentine], but few bands actually sound like them anymore. Loud guitars and quiet vocals is a usual dynamic. Shoegaze is defined by a certain guitar sound, so electronic bands such as M83would NOT be considered shoegaze, but could fit into the related genre of dreampop
