Canadian Shoegaze is a subgenre of alternative rock that originated in Canada in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is characterized by a dreamy, ethereal sound, often featuring heavily distorted guitars, reverb-drenched vocals, and a wall of sound production. The genre is heavily influenced by the British shoegaze scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s, but with a distinctly Canadian twist. Canadian Shoegaze bands often incorporate elements of post-rock, dream pop, and noise rock into their sound. Notable Canadian Shoegaze bands include Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, and The Jesus and Mary Chain.
