Neo-psychedelia (a.k.a. modern psychedelic rock, psy, psych) is the product of the psychedelic rock explosion of the 1960s. Modern neo-psychedelic bands base strong elements on the works of other notable leaders in the 1960s psychedelic rock culture. A form of free melodic music sometimes associated with indie rock, neo-psychedelic musicians use a variety of elements; distorted electronic sounds (including artists from completely different musical backgrounds such as new wave, alternative rock, shoegaze, space rock, stoner metal/rock, and ambient) with strong influences of the popular psychedelia of the '60s. Some bands show music style that bring their sound to a "psychedelic dimension" or "acid-rock".
