Surf Rock

Surf music is a genre of popular music associated with surf culture, particularly Orange County and other areas of Southern California.

It has two basic subgenres:

* Surf pop music, including both surf ballads and dance music that includes a vocal line. Sometimes called "beach music" as it was popular amongst non-surfers as well. (Surf pop should not be confused with the "shag tempo" beach music of the Carolinas, however).=

* Surf rock, generally instrumental in nature with an electric guitar or saxophone playing the main melody
