PSYCHEDELIC MUSIC

Psychedelic music is a genre influenced by the 1960s psychedelia subculture, characterized by the use of psychedelic drugs like LSD and incorporating features such as exotic instrumentation like sitar and tabla, complex song structures, modal melodies, surreal lyrics, extended instrumental solos, and elaborate studio effects like feedback and reverb. It aims to enhance the experience of psychedelic drugs and often reflects altered states of consciousness. The genre emerged in the 1960s among folk and rock bands in the US and UK, giving rise to subgenres like psychedelic folk, rock, acid rock, and pop, before evolving into various forms like progressive rock, krautrock, and heavy metal. Revivals in later decades included genres like psychedelic funk, neo-psychedelia, and stoner rock, as well as electronic genres like acid house and trance music
