Neo-psychedelia is a diverse genre of psychedelic music that draws inspiration from the sounds of 1960s psychedelia, either updating or copying the approaches from that era.[1] It initially flourished as an international movement of artists who applied the spirit of psychedelic rock to new styles.[5] It has occasionally seen mainstream pop success but is typically explored within the alternative rock scene.[6]
Neo-psychedelia 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 work. 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]
