Psychedelic

Psychedelic music is a genre of music that emerged in the mid-1960s, influenced by psychedelic culture. The genre is generally characterized by distorted and surreal soundscapes, heavily reverbed and echoed instrumentation, often featuring elements of Indian classical music, electronic music, and jazz. Psychedelic music was initially associated with the hippie subculture, but it soon spread to other subcultures and genres, including funk, soul, and progressive rock. In the early 1970s, artists such as Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead, and The Beatles further popularized the genre with their psychedelic rock albums.
