Psychedelic Rock
See all GenresPsychedelic Rock is a musical genre that emerged in the mid-1960s, primarily from the American and British rock scene. Inspired by the psychedelic experience, drugs like LSD, and the desire to expand the boundaries of consciousness, this genre incorporates innovative sound techniques, experimental sounds, and influences from Eastern music. It is characterized by extended guitar solos, otherworldly sound arrangements, and often lyrics with enigmatic meanings. Bands like Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, and Jefferson Airplane were iconic, defining the genre.
