Psychobilly Guide

Psychobilly is a subgenre of punk rock that combines elements of rockabilly, punk rock, and horror. It originated in the late 1970s in the United Kingdom, with bands such as the Cramps, the Meteors, and the Batmobile.

Psychobilly is characterized by its fast, aggressive tempo, distorted guitars, and the use of horror-themed lyrics and imagery. The lyrics often deal with themes of death, violence, and the supernatural, and the music is often said to have a "spooky" or "macabre" atmosphere.

Psychobilly bands typically wear clothing that is inspired by 1950s greaser and rockabilly styles, such as leather jackets, pompadour hairstyles, and tattoos. They also often incorporate horror-themed elements into their stage shows, such as fake blood, skulls, and chainsaws.

Psychobilly has remained a relatively small subgenre of punk rock, but it has continued to attract a loyal following. There are psychobilly bands and fans all over the world, and there are regular psychobilly festivals and events.
