[[Krautrock]] is a British term for the experimental rock scene in [[West Germany]] existent between [[The Sixties]] and [[The Seventies]].
Since it's a catch-all term, some of the bands lumped under the genre have nothing in common with each other, and the term could be used abusively to refer to ''all'' German rock music. The main distinguishing features of Krautrock are its experimentalism - musically speaking the bands of the genre drew from [[Psychedelic Rock]], [[Progressive Rock]], avant-garde rock bands ([[Frank Zappa]], the [[Velvet Underground]]), [[Funk]] and [[Jazz]] - and its focus on repetition and minimalism. Krautrock bands were among the first to seriously adopt electronics and explore world music influences, and represented a significant influence on [[Alternative Rock]] (especially [[Post Punk]] and Post-Rock), [[Electronic Music]], [[Ambient]], and [[Progressive Rock]].
