Encyclopedia: Psychedelic rock

Psychedelic rock is a style of rock music inspired by or attempting to replicate the mind-altering experiences brought on by drugs such as cannabis, psilocybin, mescaline, salvia divinorum, and especially LSD. There are also other forms of psychedelic music that started from the same roots and diverged from the prevalent rock style into electronic music.

In the history of rock music, psychedelic rock is a bridge from early blues-based rock to latter progressive rock and heavy metal, but it also drew heavily from non-Western sources such as Indian music.
