Paisley Underground

The Paisley Underground is a musical genre that emerged from the Los Angeles underground scene in the early 1980s, characterized by its psychedelic and melodic sensibilities reminiscent of the 1960s' rock and pop. It fuses elements of jangly guitar-driven folk-rock, neo-psychedelic sounds, and a touch of garage punk energy, crafting a distinct blend of nostalgia and modern flair. Artists associated with this movement often embraced a DIY ethos, rich vocal harmonies, and a penchant for surreal or introspective lyrics. Despite its retro roots, the movement was an influential part of the alternative rock landscape, heavily influencing the indie rock and college radio scenes of the 1980s. The Paisley Underground's musicians developed tight-knit communities, focusing on creative collaboration that yielded a colorful, echo-drenched sound that stood in contrast to the prevailing post-punk and new wave trends of the era.
