Not done reading this one yet, but I wanted to get this of my chest before I fall asleep.
1 I really wanted to point out, as with all genres seemingly, I don't think it died in Japan. Sonically anyways. Ling Tosite Sigure has defiantly be called a shoegaze band before, and I kinda think some of Hitorie's discography and maybe Geek Sleep Sheep (mostly Feedback of of Candy) have shoegaze elements.
2 It's super serendipitous that you brought up shoegaze and grunge and that I'm reading this now, mostly because shoegaze and grunge are the new names for the FLCL sequels that Adult Swim green-lit, especially so considering FLCL is perpetually steeped in the miasma of 90's Japanese nostalgia, coming of age, and garage rock from the pillows.
