spopad

Spopad is a term that has been used in various contexts, but it is most notably associated with the 1960s counterculture movement. The term "spopad" is believed to be a portmanteau of "spop" and "pad," with "spop" referring to the music genre of progressive pop, and "pad" referring to the pad of paper used for writing lyrics. The spopad movement was characterized by its emphasis on the creative process of songwriting, with artists often writing their own lyrics and music. This movement was a reaction against the commercialization and standardization of popular music, and it sought to create a more authentic and personal form of expression. Spopads were often associated with the folk music scene, and they were known for their DIY ethos and their rejection of the mainstream music industry. The spopad movement had a significant influence on the development of progressive rock and other forms of alternative music.
