Poetry

Poetry music emerged in the 1960s, where musicians decided that rhyme and rhythm could be just as groovy as a good guitar riff, blending spoken word and melodic elements to create a bohemian sound fest. It's synonymous with an earnest delivery that feels like your mate recounting their most profound thoughts after a pint, all whilst managing to make deep existential musings sound a tad amusing.
