> [@Rebo](#): > > I’m sorry, but what does “shoegaze” mean? > [@Intergalactic\_Gladiator](#): > > I had to [google](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoegaze) it myself. Seems a bit esoteric to me too, and googling still left me scratching my head. But then I couldn’t define progressive rock or grunge (picking examples from a google list) if my life depended on it. And I’ve actually _heard_ of those two. 🙂 Even though most of this kind of stuff is quickly forgotten, sometimes I retain enough info to actually learn something. And it all evens out. **Cardigan** probably rolls his eyes at some of the topics that I love. Still in play: **Shoegaze music** 1.
