Description of garage rock music
Garage rock is a subgenre of rock music that emerged in the 1960s. It is characterized by its raw, lo-fi sound and simple, often primitive musical arrangements. The genre takes its name from the fact that many early garage rock bands would rehearse and record in garages, basements, and other makeshift spaces.
Garage rock is often associated with a DIY aesthetic, and many of the early bands in the genre were self-taught musicians who played instruments they had borrowed or purchased secondhand. The genre is also known for its emphasis on high-energy live performances, with many bands incorporating elements of punk and other aggressive styles into their music. Some of the most famous garage rock bands include The Sonics, The Stooges, and The Seeds.
