Not to be confused with Rock art
Art rock is a subgenre of rock music that generally reflects a challenging or 🔑 avant-garde approach to rock, or which makes use of modernist, experimental, or unconventional elements. Art rock aspires to elevate rock 🔑 from entertainment to an artistic statement, opting for a more experimental and conceptual outlook on music.[3] Influences may be drawn 🔑 from genres such as experimental music, avant-garde music, classical music, and jazz.[1]
Art Rock's music was created with the intention of 🔑 listening and contemplation rather than for dancing,[3] and is often distinguished by the use of electronic effects and easy listening 🔑 textures far removed from the propulsive rhythms of early rock. The term may sometimes be used interchangeably with "progressive rock", 🔑 though the latter is instead characterized in particular by its employment of classically trained instrumental technique and symphonic textures.
The genre's 🔑 greatest level of popularity was in the early 1970s through British artists. The music, as well as the theatrical nature 🔑 of performances associated with the genre, was able to appeal to artistically inclined adolescents and younger adults, especially due to 🔑 its virtuosity and musical/lyrical complexity.[3] Art rock is most associated with a certain period of rock music, beginning in 1966–67 🔑 and ending with the arrival of punk rock in the mid-1970s. After, the genre would be infused within later popular 🔑 music genres of the 1970s–90s.[3]
