📷 Feel the Rhythm of ROCK: ALTERNATIVE / INDIE (ROCK)!
🎙 Explore the evolution of DREAM POP - SHOEGAZE, starting from 1988. Dive into the iconic music that revolutionized dance floors:
✨ **Origins**: From the mid-eighties till the early nineties a large psychedelic-alternative Rock scene blossomed out of the more obscure Paisley Underground movement. Just like the Paisley Underground, this Psychedelic Rock revival - known as Neo-Psy - was based on sixties’ jangly guitars and many sound effects. Around 1982-’83, Dream Pop branches off from Neo-Psy: a softer, more ambient version and in fact a kind of Proto-Post-Rock. Later, a part of Neo-Psy evolved into a new kind of “Acid Indie Rock”, called Shoegaze or Shoegazing, but sometimes Dream Pop and Shoegaze are used as interchangeable terms. Shoegaze is filled with layered, heavily distorted guitars (with feedback), washing over each other to create a spacy, atmospheric, textured sound, which is sometimes referred to as a “wall of noise”. Yet this music is (just like Stoner Rock) not really noise, just very droning, loud and psychedelic. The name Shoegaze was derived from the fact that some artists actually stared at their shoes while performing. Neo-Psy, including Dream Pop and Shoegaze, continues in the nineties, forming a parallel stream next to other Alternative Rock.
🎵 **Highlights**: In Manchester, an influential nightlife scene evolved around Shoegaze. This scene was dubbed “Madchester” or “Baggy” (because of the artists their baggy trousers), where Indie and Acid Rock played alongside (Acid) House, bridging two separate party worlds within sacred dance temples of drugs and ecstasy (such as the legendary Hacienda club). Madchester is a genre more defined by its geographical origin and its leading label Factory Records than anything else, but extremely entertaining nevertheless.
