Psychedelic music comes in a wide variety of styles and genres.   In the 1960s, this included psychedelic rock, acid rock, and psychedelic pop. As it moved into the 1970s and later, there have been psychedelic funk, neo-psychedelia, psychedelic hip hip, and various electronic music manifestations. Psychedelic music, it can be argued, also sparked progressive rock and heavy metal.  Anyway, these tunes came out of a subculture of those turning on, tuning in, and dropping out — or dropping psychedelic and hallucinatory drugs. The music claimed (sometimes) to enhance the experience. Here’s a small sampling.
