Popgaze

Popgaze is a genre of music that combines elements of pop and shoegaze. It is characterized by dreamy, ethereal soundscapes, often featuring lush layers of guitars, synths, and vocals. The genre often has a melancholic, introspective feel, and is often driven by a strong sense of melody. Popgaze artists often draw influence from classic shoegaze bands such as My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive, as well as more contemporary acts like Beach House and M83.
