The psychedelic rock bands of the late-1960s (often based out of san francisco) actually had a relatively diverse musical style. what traits (including musical and non-musical characteristics) do they tend to share? which of these traits are forever embedded into our modern notions of “rock music”? in other words, why when you picture a stereotypical rock band in your mind, are many of us picturing a psychedelic rock band, and what are the traits behind that stereotype?
