My Morning Jacket and M83 have nothing in common, but they are both described as "shoegaze" by the professional bullshitters at Slant Magazine
"Shoegaze" developed as a term due to heavy use of pedals, ergo the guitarists were usually looking down. On top of stiff, immobile performances, which was already mentioned.

But hey, the way you stand or your use of pedals in live performance is totally a legit way to define a music genre.
