Psychedelia

Psychedelia refers to a cultural and artistic movement that emerged in the 1960s, characterized by an exploration of altered states of consciousness often inspired by psychedelic drugs like LSD. It encompasses a wide range of expressions, including music, visual art, and literature, all aimed at expanding perception and creativity. Psychedelic music often features experimental sounds and surreal lyrics, while visuals include vibrant colors and intricate patterns. This movement sought to challenge conventional norms, promote spiritual experiences, and encourage self-exploration, significantly influencing popular culture and leading to the development of subcultures focused on peace, love, and consciousness expansion.
