Garage rock, also known as garage punk or 1960s punk, is a style of rock music that emerged in the mid-1960s, primarily in the United States and Canada. It is characterized by simple chord progressions played on electric guitars, often with distortion effects, and by energetic, sometimes aggressive vocal delivery. The genre’s name stems from the association with amateur bands who practiced in domestic garages, although many groups were professional musicians.
