the.com/garage rock

means A raw, stripped-down style of rock music, typically played by young amateur bands with cheap instruments and more energy than technique.

from The term comes straight from where these bands rehearsed — actual suburban garages, too loud and loose for anywhere else. It was retroactively applied by critics and record collectors in the 1970s to describe 1960s amateur bands (many one-single wonders) who'd been swept up in the British Invasion's energy but lacked the polish, so they made up for it with distortion and attitude. The name stuck as both description and badge of honor.
