To comprehend the genre of music that’s psychedelic rock, it might be important to see where this type of music originated, because the roots from the movement that inspired the artists that made history, is part of the reason for its evolution. Within the era from the flower child, there was restlessness and strong undercurrents one of the youth across the united states and Europe, which was looking for freedom from existing societal expectations and norms. It was being the ‘hippie culture’ that took the world by storm within the late 1950′s and 60′s. Among the many ways in which hippies were to make history, with their commune living and fascination for eastern mysticism, religion and sexual liberation, was the background music that characterized the decades from the flower child.

This was also time when hallucinogenic drugs were just entering public consciousness, and LSD, mescaline and ‘magic mushrooms’, were popular, their effects compounded using the combination of alcohol and marijuana. Artistes and musicians with such psychedelic drug cocktails were said to experience an out-of-body, mind altering state of awareness, disconnected from reality, and the music that they composed within the shadowy realm of hallucinogenic drugs, came to be referred to as psychedelic music, or psychedelic rock, in homage towards the psychedelic drugs that gave rise towards the compositions. In the middle of such widespread domination, it was hardly likely the arts were to be left out, posters and album covers were just a few of the expressions of 60′s psychedelic art, characterized by their kaleidoscopic colors, diffraction patterns and entropic motifs.

Psychedelic Rock History

Many of the musicians from the era, such as the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin and Bob Dylan were the main hippie culture, and their music and songs underwent the metamorphosis that accompanied the shift in thinking and the changes which were beginning to be felt worldwide. Actually, it had been The Beatles that are credited using what many believe is the best psychedelic rock album, Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The influences of hitherto unused musical instruments started to make themselves known within the most famous compositions, and religious beliefs now use the eastern and oriental with lots of converting to Hinduism, Buddhism and the like. Prior to their iconic Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, their songs began mirroring the musical experimentation the drugs gave free reign to. Norwegian Wood, used the sitar and also the tabla, and several songs like Day Tripper made clear references towards the drugs that were now ruling the planet; their controversial track Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, was in fact a euphemism for LSD.

Psychedelic rock bands like the Grateful Dead, the Doors, Jefferson’s Airplanes, the Charlatans and The Beach Boys began popularizing the genre, with their offerings of Somebody to like, White Rabbit, Pet Sounds, and Shapes of Things hitting high in charts and staying there. In Europe, the genre was less aggressive than the ‘acid psychedelia’ that was fast-becoming the American version, with bands like Pink Floyd, Soft machine, the Nice and Tomorrow pioneering their own psychedelic rock style which was more whimsically surreal with clear influences of Beat poetry and Jazz musicians shining through. Probably the most famous psychedelic rock songs were released at the moment, the entire year was 1967, and the psychedelic movement was at its height.

As was the only likely outcome, drugs and their overuse brought about the decline and subsequent end of the psychedelic rock movement. Many musical icons lost their lives to drug abuse, and also the world mourned losing such legends as Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix, amongst many, a lot more. Many groups disbanded, LSD was made illegal in the UK and also the US and the music began its inevitable shift towards the progressive rock sounds of the 70′s. Modern psychedelic rock bands are available though their music that is an amalgamation of many other genres. Many mainstream artists dabbled in neo-psychedelia and alternative rock like Prince, and Lenny Kravitz, and acts like The Flaming Lips, Neutral Milk Hotel and the Purple Avengers. Although the pioneers of psychedelic rock may no longer be around, their music is the stuff that legends are constructed with and can live on, similar to their memories, forever.
