Surf Rock

Surf Rock is a genre of rock music that emerged in the early 1960s, inspired by the California surf culture. It features catchy melodies, energetic guitar riffs, and reverb-heavy sound effects that evoke the sensation of riding waves. The style often includes instrumental tracks with prominent electric guitar, and lyrics that celebrate beach life, surfing, and sun-soaked adventures. Bands like The Beach Boys and Dick Dale popularized surf rock, which remains influential for its vibrant, upbeat feel and distinctive guitar tone that captures the spirit of surfing and coastal leisure.
