Rock music with overtones of psychedelia. Generally blues based, like most rock, but often the most psychedelic aspects of this kind of music come from the juxtaposition of traditional rock sounds with outlandish ones (ie: When the Beatles used a sitar rather than a guitar).
The Psychedelic aspect can also come in the lyrics, though it is rare to see psychedelic lyrics without music that fits the part.
Popular techniques in this genre are to use exotic musical styles and warbly effects in order to simulate (or perhaps even STIMULATE) the effects of psychedelic drugs.
The definition of psychedelic rock is not set in stone, and therefore almost anything, even if it doesn't fit these criteria, can be included as long as it has that 'trippy' feel.

Get the rock and roll high school mug.A die hard rock climbing enthusiast. Spends a significant number of days each year outside climbing, and often climbs in the off season when it's too cold for casual climbers. Sees climbing as more of a lifestyle than a hobby.
It was 40 degrees and windy in Yosemite Valley, but a few rock rats were already high up on the granite by 9am.
