Experimental rock (also known as avant-rock) is a subgenre of rock music that originally emerged in the 1960s. The genre incorporates influences and ideas lifted from avant-garde music into that of traditional rock music instrumentation, primarily defined by the use of unconventional song structures, musical techniques, rhythms and lyricism, usually deemed widely uncommercial, challenging, difficult, inaccessible or underground.
