I like most types of electronica. Trance, techno, house, bounce, phonk, and even some dubstep. I still find new songs on youtube that I enjoy, even in my 40’s. Growing up my dad listened to a lot of psychedelic rock. I don’t really listen to rock anymore but I do recognize a lot of rock artists like dick dale, iron butterfly, and many others who created the psychedelic sound that progressed into techno and trance. I still hear a hint of miserlou in a lot of modern electronica it has a very recognizable guitar riff.

And yes Dick Dale was a surf guitarist, but his experimental creativity was a departure from what came before him. I consider him the grandpa of the big psychedelic rock artists who came after him. Many big psychedelic rock artists claimed dale as an inspiration.

Dick Dale is a legend a lot of great musicians owe something to. Most (though not all) modern surf, some of which is fucking great, follows in his footsteps while also borrowing from psych rock and other genres.
Always give Dick his due, he is the king after all.
