Psychedelic art is anything created in the 1960's, inspired by hallucinations due to drug use (LSD etc), spirituality and politics. Psychedelic = 'mind manifesting'. The art produced consists of bright colours, warping typography, paisley patterns, kaleidoscopic effects and often spiritual figures.
This graphic style was seen on posters, album covers, comics etc. The art was associated with music at the time, especially the musical equivalent 'psychedelic rock'.
I find this art very appealing. The styles are still seen today in the same context.
