What are specific, tangible things that make it stand apart? Is it the production? Lyrical themes? The type of effects used? What is Shoegaze?

Picture a guitar player on stage, stoned out of his mind while the band plays some slow, trippy, ambient music with lot’s of delay, fairly simple guitar parts, not necessarily any keyboard player but an electric bass and trap set drummer, who uses a lot of the ride symbol. You might have sparing vocals but they wouldn’t be as much as a focal point as you might be used to in pop music.
That stoned guitar player is just kinda looking, or ‘gazing’ at the ground – at his shoes – as the delay-soaked soundscape encompasses the audience.
