📄 Paper Title: Teenagers in the Shadow of the Hippies: The East Bay Garage Rock Phenomenon (1965–1967) 📌 Abstract
This paper examines the vibrant mid-1960s garage rock scene in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area. While mainstream music history heavily favors the "Summer of Love" and the psychedelic counterculture of the city's Haight-Ashbury district, a parallel universe of blue-collar teenagers demanded aggressive, danceable rock and soul. By analyzing the compilation album You Got Yours! East Bay Garage 1965-1967 released by Big Beat Records , this paper explores the musical characteristics, the localized culture, and the "enablers" who allowed this raw teenage expression to flourish. 🎼 1.
