Definition of shoegaze (-ing/-er) from wordiq.com:
"Shoegazing is characterized by the use of distortion and fuzz, droning riffs and a Spectorish wall of sound from the noisy guitars.
Vocals were typically subdued in volume and tone, but underneath the layers of guitars was often a strong sense of melody."
