Overview
Garage Rock emerged from the 1960s as a reaction to the polished sounds of mainstream pop, embodying a do-it-yourself ethos that appealed to young musicians and audiences alike. Bands like [[the-stooges|The Stooges]] and [[the-sonics|The Sonics]] captured the spirit of rebellion with their gritty sound and energetic performances, influencing countless artists across genres. This movement not only laid the groundwork for punk rock in the 1970s but also inspired a resurgence in the 2000s with bands like [[the-white-stripes|The White Stripes]] and [[the-hives|The Hives]].
