22:06 - X-Ray Rod

The purer shoegaze bands I love are My Bloody Valentine and Nothing. I'm not too versed on the genre though. I tend to like it when it's mixed with other stuff but I gotta say the blackgaze movement is beyond played out.

22:06 - no one

True! I actually remember that now when it happened. haha

22:03 - Boxcar Willy

Lol over a decade ago. You should hate Deafheaven too. Same guy.

21:24 - no one

Oh reading the dramas now. They seem quite boisterous, not how I'd imagine shoegaze artists

20:13 - no one

@corrupt lol why are they douchebags

20:02 - A Real Mönkey

Shoegaze is so hard to get right, otherwise it reeks of pretentiousness.

19:56 - corrupt

I would also be into Whirr if they weren't absolute fucking douchebags.
