>mfw I have been mispronouncing 'shoegaze' since

How did you pronounce it? It's literally the words "shoe" and "gaze" as one word.

>>53270160
Like Fugazi

>>53270160
Well, I knew of 'fugazi' before 'shoegaze' and therefore...'It' followed.

I guess I've made some stupid pronunciation mistakes in the past but I honestly can't think of how someone would think that was how it was pronounced.

Fugazi and shoegaze aren't related in any way though and unless you're a non-English speaker I don't know how you wouldn't have noticed the words "shoe" and "gaze" first off when seeing the word. Or if you liked the genre why you wouldn't have known where the name came from.

Fugazi is a made up word, Shoegaze is literally just two monosyllabic words stuck together

It's called shoe gaze because the guitarists are constantly looking down at the effects pedals at their feet that are needed to produce the reverb. They're gazing at their shoes, hence Shoe Gaze.

so it should be pronounced like shoe and gaze normally are.

such a fugacious thread

>>53270141
Even with this description featured on Wikipedia: " because the musicians in these bands stood still during live performances in a detached, introspective, non-confrontational state, hence the idea that they were gazing at their shoes"?

>>53271294
Thank you anon.... it warms my heart whenever it still gets referencec on the board. it reminds me of my one short glimmer of accidental popularity

Wait, that's why people call him Count Cheska?

Booth and Brown pronounce the name Autechre with a Rochdale accent (/ɔːˈtɛkər/ aw-tek-ər).
>However, they have explained that the name can be pronounced in any way one sees fit.

You're the one who sounds fucking stupid. I bet you write shitty poetry and "novellas" full of adverbs, faggot.

but the genre is defined in the name, it's music for autistic people who gaze at their shoes because eye contact is hard.

actually, mispronouncing artist/band's names is one of the primary fears I have when talking about music w/ friends.

I had a dream where I was talking with this QT and I said I liked Portershed, and she said that's not how it's pronounced and called me a fagoot (we were in a restaurant). Shen then posted pictures of my small dick on Facebook (I don't know how she got these)
