Pedalstare is a music genre that is seen as an evolution of shoegaze, gaining prominence on TikTok in the early 2020s. Its sound incorporates humble production quality and post-internet influence combined with above-ground rock and a distinctly American strain of shoegaze colloquially known as “nu-gaze”, a heavier, grungier, more metallic form of shoegaze rooted in ’90s rock.
Stereogum has published an article called "TikTok Has Made Shoegaze Bigger Than Ever", which mentions several pedalstare artists.
