Space rock is a subgenre of rock music; the term originally referred to a group of early mostly British 1970s progressive and psychedelic rock bands such as Hawkwind Gong and Pink Floyd characterised by slow lengthy instrumental passages dominated by electronic organs synthesizers experimental guitar work and science fiction or outer space-related lyrical themes though it was later repurposed to refer to a series of late 1980s British alternative rock bands that drew from earlier influences to create a more ambient but still melodic form of pop music.
