Psychedelic rock has also branched off to many different subgenres, such as space rock, acid rock, and psychedelic pop. Hard rock, heavy metal, progressive rock, and experimental rock can also be said to have emerged due to psychedelic rock (“Psychedelic Rock”).

These bands wildly experimented with their sound, which attracted many other new musicians to the genre, and even bands who had established other sounds started to become attracted to the psychedelic rock genre. Bands from the earlier British Invasion era also moved towards the psychedelic rock genre.

The genre later died off in the mid-70s, after many years of declining numbers of fans and material after the original heyday of psychedelia. However, for it’s time, the genre affected many, musicians or not.
