Surf

Surf music is a genre of popular music that originated in the early 1960s in the United States. It was developed by a range of artists from different backgrounds, including rock and roll, rhythm and blues, and country. The style is characterized by its use of electric guitars and often incorporates elements of traditional Hawaiian and Caribbean music. The genre is associated with sunny beaches, surfboards, and a laid-back lifestyle. The style became popular in the mid-1960s and spawned a number of surf bands, such as The Beach Boys, The Ventures, and The Surfaris.
