I cant get into a lot of the shoegaze stuff as much. Maybe I just havent found the right bands. Any suggestions? Emo, doom, neo-folk, and DSBM are typically where I go to get sad.
I am getting another band together as well. Already got a bassist, drummer, and another guitarist for this idea/project. We're going for a more blackened doom folk metal kind of thing like Agalloch.
To be honest (and this is really just my opinion), Radiohead has just as much to do with the prominence of shoegaze atm as any other band. And that's not to say they are a shoegaze band. They're not. But they incorporate elements of it and it's led a lot of musicians getting into not only shoegaze, but post-rock as well. I highly recommend everything from 'OK Computer' through 'In Rainbows'. A lot of people can't handle Thom Yorke's voice. If that's the case, try Jonny Greenwood's film scores. After Radiohead, if you haven't already, try My Bloody Valentine. 'Loveless' is a high water mark for shoegaze and I generally think of that album when I hear the word. Further reading would be Sonic Youth, specifically their late 80s work. 'Daydream Nation' is a similar hallmark. They straddle the line between shoegazy ambient and noise rock, so they should be right up your alley. Mary Timony and her band Helium are on the dream pop side of shoegaze. I like her a lot. I guess that's an appropriate start.
I seriously think girls are fucking stupid. They're obsessed with causing drama and making things worse for themselves, and others. And they cant see they're doing it. Obviously there are exceptions, but a majority seem this way.
how did i know you would have a problem with what i said? I am only slightly sexist. Only in the sense that they irritate me and frustrate me lately.
I treat women better than a lot of people. Even than people on here. At least i dont look at women like sexual objects. So fuck off with your white-knight, feminist, "slightly" bullshit.
Lol, what exactly do you have to offer to females, MC?
You're an overweight, ugly, depressed, unhygienic man-child who constantly mopes around on some dying sausagefest of an internet forum. You talk all the time about how nervous you get around girls, have absolutely zero sexual desire, and hold a slowly building grudge against an entire gender thanks to your general awkwardness around anything that has a vagina.
I'm sorry that you can't figure out the biggest problem with your lack of female attention. Take a shower, cut your hair, and quit blaming the rest of the world for your own damn problems.
