Meditation music is a genre characterized by calming and atmospheric soundscapes, often featuring repetitive rhythms, soft instrumentation, and gentle vocal whispers. Emerging in the 1960s and 1970s, it drew from Eastern spiritual traditions, ambient textures, and new age ideals. This genre peaked in popularity during the 1980s and 1990s, as people sought music for relaxation, mindfulness, and inner reflection. Meditation music's cultural significance lies in its promotion of wellness, self-awareness, and introspection. While related to ambient, new age, and chillout electronica, meditation music is distinct in its focus on soothing, slow-paced soundscapes and its use of natural sounds, such as rain or ocean waves. Its tranquil atmosphere, often created through the use of piano, guitar, flute, and gentle synthesizers, sets it apart from more energetic and rhythmic genres.
