60s revival music

60s Revival Music is a genre beginning in the mid 1990s spanning to the current age. The genre stems off from the alt-rock/indie-rock genres beginning in the 1990s-current day. This genre is heavily influence by the song writing styles, instrumentation and lyrics of the 1960s while also implementing modern technology. Many of the bands are known to dress in the archetypal 1960s fashion wearing vintage clothing, having popular 1960s hairstyles, and using vintage instruments and effects. Many of the bands recreate common looks and album covers seen in the 1960s.[1] The genre was pioneered by bands such as Spacemen 3, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Dandy Warhols, and Of Montreal.[2]

Definitions and Characteristics

The bands of the 60s Rock Revival movement rely heavily on impersonating the recording production of the music of the 1960s. There's an emphasis on recording the music to tape, or emulating the tape recording process. There's a heavy use of jangly guitars, a sound often heard and made famous by The Byrds.[3]
