Personally, i've always felt "shoegaze" to be a very limited, niche genre. It was well and good when i was a moody, depressed college kid. But we all grow up, and life's frankly more serious than the sentiments of this music express. I guess, if it gets you though whatever and scores your sentimental gloom, that's great. Once you've got bills and job deadlines, the adolescent "charm" kind of wears off...
But alot of bands were too young at the time when there debut albums were that sound.. Ride, The Verve, and Slowdive too i believe progressed to the beginnings of the Britpop genre
