Ah turns out it’s due to the amount of effects pedals these bands use so they always look to the floor.

#41

that makes sense, also explains why the guitars always sound so terrible to me.

#42

you’ve been listening to the wrong shoegaze Bam.

#43

I’m not much of a fan of shoegaze but I think it’s a beautiful word. It looks nice and sounds interesting.

#44

only heard Loveless to be honest. Maybe I’ve heard other stuff but didn’t know the genre

#45

Not really a fan of MBV. Slowdive on the other hand. I think you’d like them.

But you can’t spell jazz in Scrabble without a blank.

Slowdive are mint.

My Vitriol aren’t really shoegaze. Just fucking wanky loud alt rock

well that seems appropriate as it’s all about the letters you don’t play right?

I dunno, never thought about it that way. I just mean that there’s only one ‘z’ so you can spell shoegaze without needing a blank which means you score every tile.

Both euphemisms for semen.

#52

jizz and spunk surely?

One of the more recent updates included announcing Hundred Reasons as replacement support for ToD even though it wasn’t really Hundred Reasons

#54

It was 99 Reasons but an electric drumkit aint one

Mods, shut this thread down. One thread on My Vitriol more than we need.

#56

I make a bona fide belter of a joke like that and you want to shut it down?

You’ve had your moment in the sun lad. Move on to better things.

Plus it’s an eight letter word so you’re almost certainly getting a 50 point bonus!

Always thought the term came from the complete lack of charisma or stage presence of any of the bands. They’d mumble an occasional thanks from behind their fringes but no chat beyond that.

The effects pedal thing also sounds plausible.
