Garage rock is a raw and energetic subgenre of rock music that emerged in the 1960s. It is characterized by its stripped-down sound, often featuring distorted guitars, simple chord progressions, and driving rhythms. The genre has experienced a resurgence in popularity in recent years, with bands incorporating elements of garage rock into their music. These bands often draw inspiration from the genre's pioneers, while adding their own unique twists and modern sensibilities.
