===Neo-psychedelia=== There were occasional mainstream acts that dabbled in [[neo-psychedelia]], a style of music which emerged in late 1970s [[post-punk]] circles. Although it has mainly been an influence on [[alternative rock|alternative]] and [[indie rock]] bands, neo-psychedelia sometimes updated the approach of 1960s psychedelic rock.<ref name="AllMusicNeoP">{{cite web|website=[[AllMusic]]|date=n.d.|url=http://www.allmusic.com/style/neo-psychedelia-ma0000012252|title=Neo-Psychedelia}}</ref> Neo-psychedelia may include forays into psychedelic pop, jangly guitar rock, heavily distorted free-form jams, or recording experiments.<ref name="AllMusicNeoP"/> Some of the scene's bands, including [[the Soft Boys]], [[the Teardrop Explodes]], Wah!, [[Echo & the Bunnymen]], became major figures of neo-psychedelia. In the US in the early 1980s it was joined by the [[Paisley Underground]] movement, based in Los Angeles and fronted by acts such as [[Dream Syndicate]], [[the Bangles]] and [[Rain Parade]].<ref>R.

The [[rave]]-influenced scene is widely seen as heavily influenced by drugs, especially ecstasy ([[MDMA]]), and it is seen by Erchard as central to a wider phenomenon of what he calls a "rock [[rave]] crossover" in the late '80s and early '90s UK indie scene, which also included the ''[[Screamadelica]]'' album by Scottish band [[Primal Scream]].<ref name="Echard, William 2017 pp. 244"/> In the 1990s, [[Elephant 6]] collective bands such as [[The Olivia Tremor Control]] and [[The Apples in Stereo]] mixed the genre with [[Lo-fi music|lo-fi]] influences.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-08-25 |title=A Crash Course in the Elephant 6 Recording Co. |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/25/arts/music/amplifier-newsletter-elephant-6.html |access-date=2024-08-19 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> Later according to Treblezine{{'}}s Jeff Telrich: "[[Primal Scream]] made [neo-psychedelia] dancefloor ready.
