Acoustic Rock is essentially Rock music with acoustic instrumentation, as opposed to the electric instrumentation typical of the genre.
When music is labeled acoustic, unplugged, or unwired, the assumption seems to be that other types of music are cluttered by technology and overproduction and therefore aren’t as pure.
Suggestion by music reviewer Craig Conley
Acoustic music is music that solely or primarily uses instruments that produce sound through acoustic means, as opposed to electric or electronic means. While all music was once acoustic, the retronym “acoustic music” appeared after the advent of electric instruments, such as the electric guitar, electric violin, electric organ, and synthesizer. Acoustic string instrumentations had long been a subset of popular music, particularly in folk. It stood in contrast to various other types of music in various eras, including big band music in the pre-rock era and electric music in the Rock era.
