    Yeah, I guess it's hard to nail it much better without explaining alot. Could maybe add that shoegaze sometimes has more of rock or punk estetics, while dream pop leans more towards pop, ethereal or ambient? (of course, many "shoegaze bands" tends to do this too, just to blur the line even more)

  • Hi, I seem to really like this genre. but don´t know too much about it,
    can you recommend me some stuff after looking at my charts?
    of course I know My bloody valentine, way better than my charts reflect. and I know and like yo la tengo and deerhunter. but i guess then it already stops ;(

    so please hook me up.
    thanks in advance
