Cocktail Music is essentially a revival of kitschy '50s and '60s easy listening genres like exotica, space age pop, and lounge music. Cocktail bands like Combustible Edison emerged in the early '90s. They adapted the sound and style of lounge music, writing their own music and performing it affectionately, but with their tongue firmly planted in cheek.
