Garage Rock

Garage rock is a genre characterized by its raw, DIY ethos and fuzz-laden sound, often featuring distorted guitars, driving rhythms, and emotive vocals that range from snarling to melodic. Emerging in the early 2000s, garage rock revived the spirit of 1960s proto-punk and 1970s post-punk, with a modern twist. This era saw a surge in popularity, particularly among indie and alternative audiences. Garage rock's cultural significance lies in its anti-glam, back-to-basics approach, which resonated with a generation seeking authenticity in music. Drawing from blues, punk, and indie rock, garage rock's distinct sound is marked by its lo-fi production, introspective lyrics, and high-energy live performances. Notable elements include the emphasis on guitar riffs, minimalist drumming, and a nostalgic nod to rock 'n' roll's rebellious roots, setting it apart from more polished and commercial rock styles.
