A more formal term originally used to describe something that seems inspired by a mind-altering drug, or the effects of the drug itself. Drugs classified as "psychedelic" include marijuana and LSD.
More commonly now, since the age of psychedelia ended in the early-70s, the term is used solely to describe things that seem inspired by or seem to replicate the experience of mind-altering drugs. The term is most often applied to art that utilizes bright colours and bizarre patterns or music that uses strange, non-standard timing signatures, keys, chords, and the like. The term is somewhat synonymous with trippy.

Don't worry; when you wear this multicolored, glow-in-the-dark, fresh water eel skin headband, you too will look, and feel, psychedelicate.

Due to the illegal and hostile nature of London's black market, many o' dealers import intoxicating substances as well as producing their own native drugs. This combined with it's high population makes the citizens of London a good example of psychedelic selection. (especially when involving predators such as the wild pig).
