==Music== {{Main|Psychedelic music}} The fashion for psychedelic drugs gave its name to the style of psychedelia, a term describing a category of [[rock music]] known as [[psychedelic rock]], as well as [[visual art]], [[fashion]], and [[culture]] that is associated originally with the high 1960s, hippies, and the [[Haight-Ashbury]] neighborhood of [[San Francisco]], [[California]].<ref>M. Campbell, ''Popular Music in America: And the Beat Goes on'' (Boston, MA: [[Cengage Learning]], 3rd edn., 2008), {{ISBN|0-495-50530-7}}, pp. 212β3.</ref> It often used new recording techniques and effects while drawing on [[Music of Asia|Eastern sources]] such as the [[raga]]s and [[Drone (music)|drones]] of [[Music of India|Indian music]]. One of the first uses of the word in the music scene of this time was in the 1964 recording of "[[Hesitation Blues]]" by folk group the [[Holy Modal Rounders]].{{sfn|Hicks|2000|pp=69β60}} The term was introduced to rock music and popularized by the [[13th Floor Elevators]] 1966 album ''[[The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators]]''.{{sfn|Hicks|2000|pp=69β60}} Psychedelia truly took off in 1967 with the [[Summer of Love]] and, although associated with San Francisco, the style soon spread across the [[United States|US]], and worldwide.<ref name=AllmusicPsych>V. Bogdanov, C. Woodstra and [[Stephen Thomas Erlewine|S. T. Erlewine]], ''All Music Guide to Rock: the Definitive Guide to Rock, Pop, and Soul'' (Milwaukee, WI: [[Backbeat Books]], 3rd edn., 2002), {{ISBN|0-87930-653-X}}, pp. 1322β3.</ref> The [[electronic dance music]] scene is strongly linked to the consumption of psychedelic drugs, particularly [[MDMA]]. Drug usage in the EDM scene can primarily be traced to British [[Acid house party|acid house parties]] and the [[Second Summer of Love]], which marked the beginnings of [[rave culture]]; these movements, however, were distinct from and mostly unrelated to 1960s psychedelia.
