Psychedelic music is a unique musical style that emerged as an outgrowth of rock music and the drug culture of the 1960s. Psychedelic music is most often known as psychedelic rock music and often is said to include the sub-styles of Acid Rock, "Flower Power" and many types of hard rock music. Other types of psychedelic music have grown out of the original psychedelic rock music, including electronic music and many modern manifestations of Avant-Garde music, but the inner characteristics of psychedelic music are firmly planted in rock music. Psychedelic music became a recognized category in 1967 and is typically distinguished by modal melodies, obscure, very metaphorical lyrics that describe hallucinations and dreams, very long instrumental music solos and a variety of electronic effects, including distortion, reverb and delayed sound. The Beatles first brought psychedelic rock music into popularity with their album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
