Videos: Shoegaze

Dream pop, also known as shoegaze, is a subgenre of alternative rock that emerged in the 1980s and 1990s. It is characterized by its ethereal and atmospheric sound, often featuring hazy, distorted guitars, reverb-drenched vocals, and swirling, dreamlike textures. Dream pop artists often focus on creating immersive, introspective soundscapes that evoke feelings of nostalgia, melancholy, and otherworldliness. Some notable dream pop bands include My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins, and Beach House.
