Psychedelic Rock

Psychedelic rock, emerging in the 1960s, distorted traditional rock structures with experimental sounds and extended jams, often incorporating Eastern influences and surreal lyrics. Its aim was to evoke altered states of consciousness through music, creating a sonic tapestry of swirling guitars, hypnotic rhythms, and mind-bending effects. Key bands include Jimi Hendrix Experience, Pink Floyd, and Jefferson Airplane, whose music continues to influence artists today.
