The California Sound is a genre of popular music that originated and spread throughout Southern California in the 1960s and 1970s.
It is often associated with the hippie counterculture era and is considered a major influence on the development of today’s modern popular music.
The California Sound was seen as a reflection of the laid-back lifestyle of the Golden State and the West Coast of the United States in general, and it provided a platform for messages of peace, love, and social justice.
