No one ever considered it to be shoegaze

because the guitars are shoegazy

Whenever I first saw this album posted in 2015 and 2016 people always referred to it as shoegaze

What usually constitutes shoegaze guitars? Lots of distortion? Reverb? Delay? Most of the guitars on the album are clean without any effects.

What's your definition of shoegaze

i mean someone might consider it shoegaze bc the guitars are so loud and the vocals are not

no one ever said

I actually really like the album, I think you misunderstood the purpose of my post.
>>63859121
Basically, pop and rock music with a distinct focus on the guitars being drowned in effects sometimes creating complex walls of sound. The drums and bass usually take a back seat just creating basic rhythms and not being in the forefront. The vocals are usually lazy and dreamy floating through the mix. This has been my experience with the shoegaze music that I've heard.

That doesn't make any sense?
>>63859137
They did
>>63859151
Yeah, that album is unquestionably a slowcore album.

>>63859215
why doesn't it make any sense? it has this distinct feel of guitars and textures overpowering vocals, and that is one of shoegazing calling cards

>>63859257
It's like saying that a metal band is actually a punk band because the singer screams.

One single stylistic similarity between some of the songs off of Duster's Stratosphere and the over arching sound of shoegaze is not enough for it to be considered shoegaze.

You posting what you posted, lead me to believe that you were implying that you believed that. At any rate, it still doesn't make sense.
