The Psychedelic Rock Genre

This genre made popular in the late 70’s can rightly be called stoners rock. It is one of the favorite genres of hippies alongside Indie, it was made to imitate the influence of some hallucinogens and other drugs. Bands like GRATEFUL DEAD help spread the sound away from the San Francisco area. This genre also sounds like some sort of slowed down and guitared Indian music or Indian classical, the sitar guitar was mostly used in the early days of this genre.
This genre can be characterized electric guitar with feedback, Taba, long delayed looped, extended solo

This genre was greatly by the genre it was named after so most of the artists above have dived it to this. It adopts the use of distorted and jangly guitar

Acid Rock
Tracks like THE 13TH ELEVATOR BY AUSTIN helped take the genre to a darker sound eventually categorized as acid rock and tagged a sub-genre of psychedelic rock,
Like it parent genre it’s a sound made for the influence of drug but particularly acid based drugs or acid trips. It is a heavier and darker than is parent genre
Artists also cross platform a lot but bands like quicksilver messenger service, deep purple sty mainly here
Space Rock 
It is a more progressive psychedelic rock, it has more use of electric guitar, Pink Floyd still helped influence his genre without jams like LUCIFER SAM, ASTRONOMY DOMINE AND INSTELLAR OVERDRIVE.
