Acid Rock Music: A Blast In The Past
Most people have heard the term Acid Rock Music. Many of them have heard it. If you have lived your childhood in a house with parents from the sixties and seventies, it was probably their lullaby music. Some of them may have even spent some of those teenage years lounging around the house and classroom, going through Grateful Dead T-shirts, ripped jeans, and experimenting with some old Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin records.
When they were your age …
What they may or may not know is that this music was created for experimentation, of the drug-induced variety. It is a trivial fact that most of the artists who wrote these songs were under the influence of acid at the time. Thus arose the written name Acid Rock Music. If they weren’t, the people who were listening were. With songs like Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit” and group names like Bubble Puppy, it was easy to see the attempt to recreate the experience of the trip. There was a long list of groups and bands that honored their musical genre. Some more examples are the 13th floor elevators, the Blue Magoos, the Bermuda Triangle gang, Zakary Thaks, Foghat, and Molly Hatchet.
Pay homage to music … man.
Acid Rock began to make its appearance in the 1960s. He continued with a long list of successes and wonders during the eighties. The Grateful Dead gained popularity around 1969 and continued to the end. They still have an avid fan base. At one point, rock sensation The Beatles, a popular mainstream British group, tried some psychedelic acid rock. The genre had then reached a whole new level.
Time for some new threads
Style emerged from music. The conservative dress of his parents came out and the hippie entered. Jeans, crazy colored T-shirts and long hair dominated the Acid Rock Music generation. It was about those other realities rather than where they were. People shopped at stores called Mr. Fish and spent nights with friends getting high.
Keep rocking!
Acid Rock Music is a definite look of the ’60s and’ 70s generation. From there came the Hair Metal of the eighties and the hard and alternative rock of today. It was music that your parents’ parents hated just like your parents hate yours. It is a musical experience based on drug use. Confusing phrases, wild rides, and colorful rhythms, music is a journey unto itself. However, no one can say for sure how nice it would be unless they understood the phrase “being under the influence.”
