>In a recent New York Times piece, Wolfhard went vinyl shopping at Rough Trade in Brooklyn. But when he ran across My Bloody Valentine and the "Indie-Rock/Shoegaze" section, here's what happened, as per the NYT story:
>He came across the album Loveless by the British rock group My Bloody Valentine, whom he had never heard before. He was also unfamiliar with the genre it was filed under: Indie-Rock/Shoegaze.
>"What does that even mean?" Finn said. A reporter informed him that "shoegaze" refers to bands known to stand still and stare at their shoes on stage. Their popularity peaked two decades ago. "So, are they dad rock?" he said.
>All that said, we're not going disagree with his "dad rock" claims here. Plus, as the piece shows, he has good taste in Weezer. "Oh, wow, they have Pinkerton," Wolfhard said of Weezer's 1996 album. "This is so much better than their first one."
>album that came out in the 90s is now considered "dad rock" by the new generation fuck, I feel old.
Colton Reyes
what a faggot you just know he's gonna be a jaden smith in a few years
Benjamin Barnes
no chance, he actually has talent unlike jaden
Xavier Ramirez
Nice to know that Sup Forums has the same shit taste in music as it does in film
Hunter Price
At this point that album is pretty much dad rock
Josiah Rodriguez
>a literal child is not a music historian Wow, what a surprise. Loveless is great, btw.
Jonathan Gray
lol shoe gaze. I've never heard of that either. Is that just hipster term for enough?
Landon Watson
I'm 41 and I had to google it, because I didn't hang out with hipsters at the time.
Aiden Ross
It's not dad rock. Dad rock is stuff like acdc and gun n roses. I would call stuff like Alice in Chains dad rock before mbv.
Isaac Ortiz
>pinkerton better than blue album Straight to the trash he goes.

This is why actors grow up to be cunts. They do something completely innocent, and get judged for it by millions and millions.
Ian Anderson
>taking acid and listening to loveless
Holy fuck brehs

Leo Murphy
the butcher and the googe are british
Jacob Hernandez
I'm 30 and never heard of it either and I'm big into music.
Isaac Morris
I browse mu occasionally and I didn't know what shoegaze was until recently
Carson Rogers
And Kevin was born in America, does that make them an American band?
Noah Morales
shoegaze is pretty much dadrock at this point, people who listened to it during its prime are over 40 now
Carter Jones
>self proclaimed """""music fans"""""dont know ehat showgaze is
This thread wew
Cameron Nelson
>30yo >I'm big into music >Has never listened to Loveless
Sure, pal, you're a real connoisseur
Brandon Lee
The term comes from the fact that a the musicians spend a lot of time looking down because of their heavy use of effects pedals
Gavin Lewis
Tard
Adrian Jackson
It sounds like some kind of political scandal.
Matthew Murphy
Just because it's old that doesn't mean it's Dad Rock. You will never hear My Bloody Valentine on a TV commercial or some sports event
Christopher Lopez
He's 14, give him a fucking break. When I was 14, I thought Static-X was punk rock. Also. shoegaze is garbage. No exceptions.
Angel Turner
and your battlestation is the pinnacle of interior design.
Henry Rogers
>Doesn't Know What Shoegaze Is Neither do I.
Leo Adams
it's getting pretty popular again tho at least here (europe) shoegaze x postpunk x krautrock bands are popping up alot lately
Kayden Sanders
How much money would you pay to go to Denny's and share milkshakes and smothered fries with Finn Wolfhard? And it has to be Denny's because that's what he picked so shut the fuck up faggot.
That's pretty funny but I don't get the reference.
Benjamin Wright
a lot of people that aren't fags and are huge fans of my bloody valentine also don't know what shoegaze is because its a stupid cloistered hipster term.
Lincoln Rogers
He's like 5 years old. Why should he know about some shitty old band?
Ryder Taylor
dadrock is just music that appeals to older generations, i wouldn't say mbv are the same level as ACDC or others though
shoegaze has always held a cult-like status but its way too big of a niche, punk bands are also popping up over europe but punk is in no way coming back either
