Psychedelic music is a genre that incorporates experimental sounds and effects to evoke a surreal or mind-altering experience, often associated with the use of hallucinogens like LSD. Originating in the 1960s, it blends elements of rock, electronic, and world music with effects like reverb, delay, and distortion to create dreamy, layered soundscapes. The goal is to transport listeners to a heightened, often otherworldly state of consciousness. Psychedelic music spans multiple genres, including rock (like Pink Floyd), electronic (such as psytrance), and pop.
