Garage Rock

Garage rock is a raw and energetic style of rock and roll that emerged in the mid-1960s. It is characterized by basic chord structures played on electric guitars and other instruments, sometimes distorted through a fuzzbox, as well as often unsophisticated and occasionally aggressive lyrics and delivery. Garage rock songs often revolve around the traumas of everyday life, with many songs reflecting a fascination with drug use, sexual activity, and rebellion against authority.
