The San Francisco tag encompasses the city's diverse musical legacy, from psychedelic rock and jam bands of the '60s counterculture to hyphy rap and indie pop that emerged from its bohemian neighborhoods. This music often reflects the Bay Area's progressive spirit, innovation, and cultural melting pot. The sound ranges widely but shares a distinct Northern California sensibility that prizes artistic freedom and experimentation.
