Psychobilly

Psychobilly is a music genre that blends punk rock's energy with rockabilly's vintage style, often characterized by fast tempos, gritty guitars, and themes inspired by horror, science fiction, and pop culture from the 1950s. It emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s, creating a subculture that embraces a playful, rebellious attitude with distinctive fashion—such as pompadours, leather, and tattoos. Psychobilly's fans appreciate its edgy sound and nostalgic aesthetic, making it a unique fusion of music, style, and attitude that celebrates both vintage Americana and alternative nightlife.
