[edit] Disambiguation page

Should this really be a disambiguation page? It seems like Psychedelic music should have an article about, which links to the other forms of psychadelic music within the article. I'm sure lots of people would like to know about psychedelic music in general, not just a subset. --Daniel Olsen 05:06, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

It probably shouldn't be a disambiguation page as it doesn't really fit in with your normal dag pages. This page should really be an article that is a synopsis of the different forms of psychedelic music with links to the main articles. --Mattarata 16:29, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

What is psychedelic music? I created this disambiguation because in rock communities "psychedelic music" refer to psychedelic rock, in trance communities it refers to psychedelic trance etc.

Unless you are suggesting to write an article about the influence of psychedelic rock on modern music (and I think this could fit as a paragraph at psychedelic rock) I can't see how there could be an article that decribe the connection between psychedelic pop and acid punk, for example.

Psychedelic rock should be moved to psychedelic music, with psychedelic folk, psychedelic soul and psychedelic pop merged in. They really aren't separate genres: they all originated about the same time and share the same defining characteristics; those other pages only exist because 'rock' doesn't adequately describe the genre as a whole. --Alcuin 23:21, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I'd say to write a short intro (maybe adapted from psychedelic rock) and then a short paragraph on each subgenre with a link to each daughter article. --Daniel Olsen 17:25, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Go ahead and make it an article. Dekimasu 09:44, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree - it should be an article. Which is proabably why so many pages link to it! - Superbfc 11:07, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree as well. Main article with sections (and sub-articles). —EdGl 03:08, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm working on an idea that could be a good basis for a complete rewrite of at least the 'Background' section. Currently It's a 7000 word time-line (1964 - 2000), which could be broken down into: 60's; 70's; (acid) punk (aka. crusty) and acid house eras. I can't improve on neo-psych as I don't know enough about it. The 60's time-line is more or less complete and would provide a useful structure for links. I'd suggest putting the 60's timeline on this page along with disambiguation links to related pages and other eras / sub-genres at the top and bottom. What do you think? I'm happy to just get on and do it. --Tim Hall 16:27 14 Nov 2007 OK, Going for it. --Tim Hall 23:23 23 Jan 2008

[edit] Musicology

As I am going to post elsewhere, we've added one more article to the large set of useless garbage. It seems that most of editors can't understand the difference between words meaning /referring to a musical scene or an artistic movement, and words/terms dealing with stylistic features, the latter being the only ones that can properly define a music genre. This is due to the fact that books available on such topics are usually written not by independent researchers, but by journalists or djs .--Dr. Who 16:48, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I mean: more enciclopedic tone.:p--Doktor Who 02:04, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, movements and circles produce styles, so the distinction seems rather pedantic. jkolak 3/11/2008 I agree with Doktor Who. Psychedelia isn't just about the music, it's an entire movement and stylistic feature. And 'jkolak', what are you talking about?? thats unrelated.

[edit] Psytrance

What about psychedelic trance groups like infected mushroom and astral projection?

[edit] artists associated with psychedelic music? Thom Yorke?

Is Thom Yorke associated with psychedelic music? I've never heard or read that he is or has been influenced by psychedelic music. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.23.47 (talk) 22:44, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
