Lounge music is a form of music that was popular during the 1950′s and 1960′s and includes genres like easy listening, exotica, and space age pop. Its characteristic ranges from modern electronica with chillout influences to mellow instrumentals while maintaining its emphasis on space-age elements. Lounge music is designed to create the atmosphere of a totally alien place like an island paradise, a jungle, or outer space. The genre was revived during the early 1990′s by artists like Stereolab, Pink Martini, and Love Jones. In the year 2000, other artists took lounge music to whole new heights by mixing rock and pop.
