Description of experimental rock music
Experimental rock is a subgenre of rock music that emphasizes challenging and unconventional approaches to composition and performance. It often features unconventional song structures, unconventional instruments, and an emphasis on texture, timbre, and atmosphere over traditional melodies and harmonies.
