 Psychedelic music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Psychedelic music is a musical genre which is not rigorously defined, and is sometimes interpreted to include everything from Flower Power music to Hard Rock and Acid Rock.
In the United States, psychedelic music was particularly characteristic of the West Coast sound, with bands such as the Beach Boys, Grateful Dead, Country Joe and The Fish, Spirit, SRC, Quicksilver Messenger Service, the United States of America, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Love and Jefferson Airplane in the vanguard.
There were also less well known psychedelic bands in outlying regions, such as the 13th Floor Elevators and Bubble Puppy working out of Texas, and the Third Bardo in New York City, a group which had a brief revival in the 1990s.

At the same time as psychedelic drugs were being used by the counterculture of the 1960s, they were also being used in experiments by governments, who saw them (apparently mistakenly) as useful agents for mind control; see MKULTRA for the CIA involvement in the use of psychedelic drugs.

 Science And Consciousness Review   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Psychedelic means "mind-manifesting" and refers to the ability of these drugs to illuminate normally hidden aspects of mind or psyche.
Scientific and clinical work with psychedelics was interrupted when the drugs were outlawed in the U.S. in 1965 as a response to their growing non-medical use, but in recent years, renewed scientific interest in consciousness has led to a small revival of psychedelic drug research.
However, taking a psychedelic also entails the risk that the user may spiral down into the fl hole of a “bad trip,” an overwhelming state of terror and psychic anguish that can be followed by lasting PTSD-type symptoms such as flashbacks.

 The History of Rock Music - The Nineties
Psychedelic music was the single greatest invention of the 1960s and remained the dominant genre in the 1990s.
The 1960s coined a number of psychedelic styles, and they were still the basic psychedelic styles of the 1990s: the psychedelic pop of the Doors, the psychedelic freak-out of the Red Crayola, the psychedelic trance of the Velvet Underground, and the acid jam of the Grateful Dead.
The former, a seven-movement instrumental jam, is a cosmic hymn of monumental proportions, the psychedelic equivalent of a symphonic mass.

 CSP - On Nomenclature
Say "psychedelic" and you hear the glib voice of the salesman, the hypocritical tones of the mystifier, the rationalizing chatter of the dissipated and purposeless.
When the recent surge of recreational use of so-called "hallucinogenic" or "psychedelic" drugs first came to popular attention in the early 1960s, it was commonly viewed with suspicion and associated with the behavior of deviant or revolutionary groups....
The word "psychedelic" is etymologically innocuous, literally meaning "mind-manifesting,' but it is dated, tagged to the "psychedelic sixties" when recreational use of the drugs took over, and thus clearly inappropriate when speaking of shamans, Eleusis, and the Native American Church.

 Erowid Psychoactive Vaults : The Psychedelic Experience FAQ v1.1
By far the most popular psychedelic drugs are LSD and mushrooms; cannabis, while in a way psychedelic, is not within an order of magnitude of the effects of the 'real' hallucinogens (at normal doses at least).
Also, since psychedelics *are* illegal, one has to constantly maintain their guard about what one says to 'non-enlightened' people; "what if my parents/neighbors/teacher/ boss finds out I use drugs?".
Most guides to the psychedelic experience, including this one, are geared for the high-level mystical flavor of trips; yet if you estimate your dosage correctly, for the first time your trip is unlikely to be stronger than lvl 3, and nothing *truly* cosmic is likely to happen, at least unaided.

 "What is 'Art Psychedelic'?"   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Many people act as if the word "psychedelic" is either a swear word or is illegal; I can reassure you that it's still legal to use the word "psychedelic".
Psychedelic, which means "mind-manifesting", refers (in this context) to anything reminiscent of the psychoactive effects of entheogens (formerly known incorrectly as "hallucinogens") such as LSD, mescaline, psilocybin, DMT, etc. However, a person doesn't necessarily have to have tried any of these mind-expanding sacraments in order for them to appreciate psychedelic artwork.
I've often wondered whether these "pigs" and "squares" came to regret their actions when the peace, love and marijuana of the hippies were finally crushed, only to be swiftly replaced by the violence, anger and heroin of the punk-rockers.

 Urban Dictionary: psychedelic
Means "mind manifesting." It is used to describe the state of consciousness typically experienced while under drugs such as LSD, mushrooms, mescaline and cannabis - consisting of various stages of ego-release and an often startling alteration of perceptions.
This word is also applied to the writings, art, movies and music that are inspired by or that enhance the psychedelic experience.
More commonly now, since the age of psychedelia ended in the early-70s, the term is used solely to describe things that seem inspired by or seem to replicate the experience of mind-altering drugs.
