Title: Shoegaze Series: Genre: A 33 1/3 Author: Ryan Pinkard Narrator: Hunter Johns Format: mp3 Length: 4 hrs and 28 mins Release date: 04-24-25 Ratings: Not rated yet Genres: Music Publisher's Summary: What the hell is shoegaze? A scene? A movement? A sound? Back in the Nineties, many would have said the so-called genre was entirely fabricated. The term itself, an offensive piss-take given by the notoriously catty and scene-obsessed British music press, was plainly rejected by the absurdly small collection of bands to which it supposedly applied. In this ambitious oral history of a genre that has eluded definition for three decades, Ryan Pinkard unearths the first wave of shoegaze, following the core bands, their sounds, their influence, and their journeys in and out of obscurity.
