Acid or lysergic (referring to lysergic acid) psychedelic music is a music genre intended to invoke the psychedelic experience, either lyrically or sonically. Various pre-modern cultures have used psychedelic substances and most frequently their use was and is accompanied by music such as happens in some American shamanism cultures to this day.
Psychedelic rock
England’s psychedelic rock is distinguished by its somewhat mysterious character, compositional improvisation, and its association with hallucinogenic substances such as psilocybin, cannabis, and, above all, LSD. There is no rigorous description of this genre and all sorts of sounds ranging from rag rock, acid rock, to hard rock are also defined as such.
History
British rock embarked on a frenzied race of ideas in 1962 that swept across the US because of the so-called British rock music invasion. External influences were also experimented with in the folk music community. Several musicians started to take drugs along the same line of the Jazz and Blues tradition and included references to them in their songs.
