Nu Gaze or the New Wave of Shoegaze, is a form of alternative rock originating in the 2000s.[1]
The genre takes the ethereal, heavily effected guitars of the British Shoegazing scene of the early 90's (My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, etc) and combines it with more modern influences from both sides of the Atlantic. The genre is very diverse as certain bands have synth/electronica influences and others have heavier rock elements but all are united by space-rock guitar textures.

Some Nu Gaze bands are almost identical in musical aesthetic to the originating Shoegazing genre, other than by time period and geographic location.
