Psychedelic Rock: Why the World is Bigger Than Your World

Psychedelic Rock is a genre of music that often explores the “bigger picture” of life. In this blog post, we’ll explore why the world is bigger than your world.

Psychedelic Rock is a genre of rock music that emerged in the 1960s

Psychedelic Rock is a genre of rock music that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s, characterized by a distorted or “trippy” sound, often created by using feedback or other electronic effects. The genre’s signature tropes include long and often improvised jams, unusual or bizarre instruments, and emphasized use of electronics and feedback. It was also sometimes referred to as Acid Rock due to its association with mind-altering drugs such as LSD and other psychedelics.

Psychedelic rock is a style of rock music that is inspired or influenced by psychedelic culture and attempts to replicate and enhance the mind-altering experiences of psychedelic drugs. The genre is characterized by the use of psychedelic drugs, such as LSD, to induce states of mind that are intended to promote creativity and self-awareness.

Psychedelic rock often uses similar sonic elements to traditional rock music, but includes distorted and altered guitars, keyboards, Mellotrons, and other sound effects to replicate the experience of a psychedelic drug trip. The lyrics and imagery of psychedelic rock are often intended to evoke feelings of wonder, ecstasy, and paranoia.

The style was pioneered in the mid-1960s by bands such as the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and the Grateful Dead, and reached its peak popularity in the late 1960s with bands such as Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, and the Doors. Psychedelic rock began to decline in popularity in the early 1970s as bands returned to more traditional styles of rock music.

Psychedelic Rock has its roots in the British Invasion of the early 1960s, when bands such as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones began to experiment with the use of psychedelic drugs

However, it was not until the mid-1960s that psychedelic rock began to emerge as a distinct genre. The first wave of psychedelic rock was led by bands such as The Byrds, The Grateful Dead, and Jefferson Airplane. These bands were soon followed by a second wave of Psychedelic Rock bands, including The Doors, Pink Floyd, and The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Psychedelic Rock reached its peak in the late 1960s and early 1970s. During this time, many Psychedelic Rock bands began to experiment with extended improvisation and drone techniques. These experimentation’s often resulted in lengthy and meandering songs that were sometimes referred to as ” jams.” One of the most famous examples of this is the Grateful Dead’s “Dark Star,” which became one of the band’s signature songs.

In the mid-1970s, Punk Rock emerged as a reaction against the excesses of Psychedelic Rock. Punk Rockers rejected the dovetailing sounds and fashion of their predecessors in favor of a more stripped-down aesthetic. This aesthetic would come to be defined by fast tempos, distortion-heavy guitar work, and aggressive lyrical content. Bands such as The Ramones, Sex Pistols, and The Clash epitomized the PunkRock sound.

Despite the rise of PunkRock, PsychedelicRock continued to be popular throughout the 1970s and 1980s. In fact, many PunkRockers (such as Mick Jones of The Clash) cited PsychedelicRock as a major influence on their music. In the 1990s and 2000s, PsychedelicRock experienced something of a resurgence in popularity, thanks in part to the work of neo-psychedelic bands such as Tame Impala and MGMT.

In the 1980s and 1990s, there was a brief resurgence in psychedelic rock with bands like The Flaming Lips and Pixies, but it has since faded into obscurity.
