What term did garage bands come to be known as?

• A. Garage Rock
• B. Punk Rock
• C. Ska
• D. Disco

Answer: (A)

Garage rock is the label used for bands that practiced in garages and played a raw, energetic, lo-fi style in the mid-1960s. The DIY, unpolished sound of these groups—often recorded or performed with limited resources—led critics and fans to group them under garage rock. The other options point to different genres: punk rock comes from a later, more rebellious movement; ska has Caribbean origins and a distinct rhythm; disco is a 1970s dance style. So the term that best fits garage bands is garage rock.
