	Art rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Art rock is a term used by some to describe rock music that is characterized by ambitious or postmodern lyrical themes and/or melodic, harmonic, or rhythmic experimentation, often extending beyond standard pop song forms and genres, toward influences in jazz, classical, world music or the experimental avant-garde.
		The art rock designation is a vague one, since few rock and pop musicians openly aspire to the title.
		The concept of "art rock" has also sometimes been conflated with the genre of progressive rock, though today the terms are usually used differently.
