is a genre of experimental rock that emerged in Germany in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It fuses psychedelic rock, electronic music, and avant-garde influences, often featuring repetitive rhythms and minimalistic structures. Rejecting mainstream trends, krautrock focused on innovation and sonic exploration. Key bands like Can, Kraftwerk, and Neu! helped define the genre, influencing a wide range of modern electronic and alternative music.
