In the late 80's/very early 90's, there was a plethora of bands united by the genre of Shoegaze. Bands like My Bloody Valentine, Lush and Ride were major stars of this genre. So here's my challenge: make it the dominant genre no later than 1991.

Bonus points if:

  • This affects The Cocteau Twins positively (They were to Shoegaze what Sonic Youth was to Grunge)
  • If it affects Madchester (rivalry perhaps?)
  • You can detail how this can supplant Britpop
