Neither of them are shoegaze
Shoegaze are late 80s/90s guitar driven bands that are loud as fuck, distorted and droney. They're shoegaze because there is no emphasis on performance. Most bands would just stand there and stare at their shoes the whole time, and not look at the crowd. Noise bands, sort of, more melodic though.
My Bloody Valentine, Jesus and Mary Chain, Slowdive... that kinda thing. No Joy is an example of a modern shoegaze band.
My Morning Jacket is definitely not shoegaze. I dunno what I'd really call them other than just indie rock/pop. M83 is pretty much just electro. Maybe he's influenced by the whole "wall of sound" deal most shoegaze bands have going on, but it ends there.
BTW, feeling the new M83 a lot now
