My Bloody Valentine is a highly influential Irish-English alternative rock band formed in Dublin in 1983, pioneering the "shoegaze" genre. Known for dense, distorted guitar textures, and androgynous vocals, the band's core lineup consists of Kevin Shields, Bilinda Butcher, Debbie Googe, and Colm Ó Cíosóig. Their 1991 album Loveless is considered a masterpiece of the 1990s.
