Butt rock

What exactly is butt rock? What are some essential artists of the butt rock genre? What, if anything, differentiates butt rock from dad rock and cock rock? Also, is there such a thing as mom rock then? Thank you for your time. As a reward, here is a picture of a rock in the shape of a butt

It's basically those mid-90s and later radio rock bands that took a thin slice of the edge from the earlier "grunge" stuff but that sound decidedly more tame and generic. Nickelback is the quintessential buttrock band that absolutely defins the term, other big one include Bush, Creed, Live, Hinder, Seether, Puddle of Mudd, Theory of a Deadman, Collective Soul and such other bands like these.

Basically post-grunge from the late 90s and early 2000s. Characterized by angry white boy lyrics, growly vocals, and straightforward 4 chord rock progression. Taken from the rock radio taglines of the era "Nothing but rock". Nickelback would be an exemplar of the genre.

Dad rock is album oriented radio rock from the 70s - the type of stuff your stereotypical dad would listen to in the car a generation ago. Led Zeppelin would be an exemplar of the genre.

Cock rock is glam and/or hair metal from the 80s, characterized by overtly sexual lyrics and the homoeroticization of the band members. Motley Crue would be an exemplar of the genre.

Mom rock is 90s radio soft rock. Characterized by romantic and sentimental lyrics with traditional rock structures often built around piano or synth rather than electric guitar. Phil Collins would be an exemplar of the genre.

so its basically the same as post-grunge?

Is Maroon 5 butt-rock?

So... it's literally just post-grunge.

No. Maroon 5 is pop, or pop rock. Butt rock is more aggressive, darker, and the vocalist will almost always have a growl about their voice. Think Disturbed, Saliva, etc.

Bush and Live aren't butt rock... they were around before grunge was even big

yes

Hmmm alright.

According to Sup Forums, it's any guitar band made up of white guys who don't put out pretentious unlistenable shit.

CAN YOU TAKE ME HIGHER

how did you forget staind?

>Bush
>formed in 1992
And regardless, both only went big with generic post-grunge sounding stuff.

Does progressive butt rock exist?

Yes. Queens Of The Stone Age.

QOTSA are neither, they are just stoner/desert rock

They're heavily buttified "stoner" though.

heh heh butt

Mom rock is definitely not just 90s. Fleetwood Mac and Billy Joel are the primary mom rock artists and they were both primarily 70s with a little 80s

Foo Fighters, Nickelback, Mastadon, Linkin Park, Queens of the Stone Age, the list goes on...

>Linkin Park
>buttrock

maroon 5 is a funk influenced band, but I see why you would think that

Is OK Go modern mom rock?

Velvet Underground is the very definition of momrock.
