pretty sure 'shitgaze' originated on internet message board terminal-boredom.
also, i think most people think the term is dumb.

I think most people realize the term is a joke.

Heh. This was prompted by a friend using it as a "legitimate" genre name. I wanted to know how far the sickness had spread. That it started at Termbo makes sense.

Um, even SPIN had a piece on this last year. And no genre nomenclature at this point isn't tongue-in-cheek, right?

the ian-n/a-tylerw exchange above sums it up, really. as a term it is a dumb joke that everyone knows is a dumb joke, which makes it ok to use as a dumb joke. but no, it is not really a "genre"

sic alps are dope as hell

Shoegaze is an awful name for a genre to begin with, 'shitgaze' . . words fail.
I'm kind of baffled why anyone would want to immortalize their creative aspirations under band names like "Psychedelic Horseshit" or "Pissed Jeans" anyway.

It's cuz being punk is cool. CLOWNING ON BITCHES is a kinda lame thing to call yr music tho.

couple years later & i still can't really stand to hear eat skull, psychedelic horsesh!t, TNV... like, i get the "aesthetic" etc etc. but really the treble-cranked-to-11 approach is just not fun to listen to.

occasionally good tunes buried in there, i guess, but it's fatiguing to listen to for more than like 5 minutes...
