Space rock is a style of music; the term originally referred to a group of early mostly British 1970s progressive rock and psychedelic bands like Hawkwind and Pink Floyd , characterized by slow, lengthy instrumental passages dominated by synthesizers, experimental guitar work, and science fiction 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 melodic but still ambient form of pop music.

Space rock emerged from the late 60s psychedelic music scene in Britain and was closely associated with the progressive rock movement of the same time period.
