The music genre, which originated in the 1960's, is a free-form, mainly instrumental music that is said to suggest the shifting and fleeting perceptions experienced when taking psychedelic drugs. Common factors in much of psychedelic music include exotic stringed instruments, unusual lyrics, tempo changes, and electric Guitars or synthesizers using reverb, distortion or other electronic effects.

What is psychedelic art?

Psychedelic music is the music you would like to listen to while you are on psychedelic drugs. You can still enjoy it very much without them though.There are many kinds of psychedelic music, as it has evolved in time since it's first apparition. Psychedelic music started to happen in the late 1960s, when people were getting inspired by psychedelic drugs to make their music. It was characterized by trippy and groovy guitar sounds, and the lyrics often described the psychedelic experience. As it evolved in time, a bit later, there was psychedelic folk, with bands like the Grateful Dead. A bit less distorted and a bit more experimental. The whole culture happened in and between the concerts where people would take acid and live really intense experiences. In the late 80s and early 90s, techno music was getting bigger and they developed their own version of psychedelic music. First known as 'acid house', this is the music that was played in the first raves. Then later came out of Goa, psychedelic goa trance, now known as psytrance, which is the most known psychedelic music among the youth today. There is a worldwide movement of psychedelic parties going on, with really big festivals attracting people from all over the world.
