I really like Julie and Modern Color, and I like pre chameleon Trauma Ray, but a lot of these other guys like Narrow Head, Third Chain, Soul Blind are really starting to bother me. Specifically it feels like they’re all the same. Nearly all the songs have the same structure or chord progression!

I loved this stuff when I first got into shoegaze a few years ago, but now I can’t help but feel like someone did something that worked and went viral, and everyone is copying that formula. It doesn’t work for me as I feel like shoegaze was built on constant sonic experimentation, and grunge with reverb doesn’t really speak to me as experimentation anymore.
