From shit + -gaze.

(uncountable) A genre of rock music with very heavy distortion and lo-fi recording.
Finding the sweetness in the shitgaze pile Times New Viking have truly mastered the no-fi game: No matter how they defile their sound (with razor blades, broken glass, tape hiss), they make sure there's bubblegum at the center.
