Nowadays, yes. All the good shoegaze of the last 10 years has been from Japan.
no, it's British
Les Rallizes Denudes are a bit of a meme now but they were some of the earliest shoegaze music to exist, coming into form in the mid to late 70s, and they were Japanese.

Why when something becomes popular it is labeled as a meme? Also whats wrong with being a meme, its like /mu/ is so afraid that their favorite things become more popular than before it loses its relevance.

If Rallizes is shoegaze then TVU is Shoegaze.
