Neo-psychedelia is a genre of psychedelic music that draws inspiration from the sounds of 1960s psychedelia, either emulating the sounds of that era[1] or applying its spirit to new styles.[5] It has occasionally seen mainstream pop success but is typically explored within alternative music and underground scenes.[6]
Neo-psychedelia first developed in the late-1970s as an outgrowth of the British post-punk scene, where it was also known as acid punk. Prince explored neo-psychedelic elements in his successful mid-1980s music. A neo-psychedelic wave of British alternative rock in the 1980s spawned the subgenres of dream pop and shoegazing.[4] Neo-psychedelia may also include forays into psychedelic pop, jangly guitar rock, heavily distorted free-form jams, or recording experiments.[1]
