surf music

Surf music is a genre that emerged in Southern California during the early 1960s, characterized by its bright, energetic sound that evokes the excitement of surfing and beach culture. It features lively guitar riffs, often with reverb effects to create a spacious, wave-like feel, along with harmonized vocals and upbeat rhythms. The style captures the carefree, adventurous spirit of surfing and laid-back coastal life. Notable bands like The Beach Boys popularized surf music, which has influenced many later genres and remains associated with summer, beach vibes, and youth culture.
