Pedalstare

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.

When a much older dude sits at a club with much younger women just sipping his drink and staring at the chicks on the dance floor.

pedalstrian 

Ped-ahl'-stree-an. A bicyclist who prefers bike paths and purposely avoids riding on the street among motorized traffic - sort of in between a street bicyclist and a pedestrian. Pedalstrians generally seek the bucolic aesthetics of bike paths, the safer biking they afford, or both.

I became a dedicated pedalstrian after having been clipped by an inebriated motorist a couple years ago.
