Zoomergaze

Zoomergaze is a loosely-defined style of electronic music and nu-gaze characterized by Generation Z musicians experimenting with the boundaries of shoegaze. The genre is a merger of shoegaze with internet music styles such as digicore and hyperpop. It sometimes incorporates influences from alternative metal and grunge-inspired genres such as grungegaze and soft grunge. During the late 2010s and early 2020s, hyperpop artists such as Strawberry Hospital, Fax Gang and Parannoul began to embrace shoegaze. Jane Remover and Quannnic's albums Frailty (2021) and Kenopsia (2022) popularized the style, initiating a wave that included Aldn, d0llywood1, Jaydes and Twikipedia. By 2023, its popularity spread on TikTok, where Wisp became the style's forefront act.
