Blackgaze

Love the genre that describes, but that it one terrible genre name (although maybe metal fans are used to terrible genre names by now)

I perceive this as tragic, mainly in that it suggests a missed opportunity to have named a genre Shoe Metal.

I generally like what I've heard, nice way to make BM more palatable. but I haven't heard much. name leaves something to be desired (but shoegazing was a silly name in the first place). is there a line between this and "atmospheric" stuff, drone, doom, "post-rock", "post-metal" and so on or is it all blurry idk how these scenes fit together, if they do

is there also deathgaze, grindgaze, crustgaze, etc ?

yachtgaze! barbershopgaze! drum n' gaze!

Mimi Goese!

While it's not overt at all unlike Deafheaven or whatever and this project likely doesn't even self-identify as blackgaze, of the relatively little BM I'm familiar with, I zone out to this in a manner very similar to how I feel when enjoying MBV etc (it's instrumental, which in this case might help it slot into this idea without any evil elfin incantations accompanying it?):

P.S. Chord voicings/intervals such as that used in this track at 1:18 seem esp shoegaze-comparable to me
