Yeah same here. There are a couple of bands or at least songs I like that would be considered shoegaze, but as a whole I don't go for it.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.

I hate "shoegaze"'s name. It's fu‎cking stupid. We have genres like ROCK & ROLL and INDUSTRIAL and PUNK and then one named shoegaze? Because it has lots of effects? Come up with something better!

Same thing with sludge metal, and some other stuff. How the hell does something sound sludge-y?

Sludge is an awesome description of a band's sound. I can't really think of a better term to describe a lot of bands, actually.

Tell me this doesn't sound "sludgy":

I don't think there's anything wrong with the term shoegazing. Lots of effects pedals, they're gazing down. Just makes sense - shoegazing.
