Kid-friendly rap music or teen pop by the likes of C+C Music Factory, 2 Unlimited, TLC, Michael and Janet Jackson, Bobby Brown, R. Kelly, Beyonce, MC Hammer, DJ Casper and Kris Kross. Like corporate rock, over-saturation is what establishes its broad appeal and it has no creativity or inovation.
The DJ at my cousin's birthday party was horrible. He played a mix of dance-rap, teen pop, disco, '80s hair metal, and corporate rock songs... all of which were terrible. I really cringed when he played "Waterfalls" by TLC.

Also known as poser rock, mall rock or fake rock, this non-rock genre is characterized by a strong commercial appeal, with emphasis on professional songwriting and recording craft. Pop rock was created by bored, moronic suit and ties at record labels, radio stations and MTV letting everyone clamor onto another phony genre. Pop rock is typically characterized by the following:
1. Lame pop melodies screamed by women, so-called "country" rednecks who sing corporate pop, gay boys or pseudo-sensitive yuppies who have no historical knowledge of rock and roll and think that's what they are when they're not even close.
2. A complete lack of any talent or difficulty.
3. Queen, even though they're a good band with godly album tracks.
4. Pointless lyrics, along with a lack of passion, artistry, subelty and intelligence.
6. Pop punk or emo pop/mall emo bands.
7. Jangly, treble-heavy, droning, bright, twangy "DING-DING, DANG-DANG" riffs that are played on repeat.
8. Artists being stuffed under "alternative rock" by the media so record companies can put out as many clones of lesser-known or often-feared genres to be consumed by the masses.
9. Post-grunge or over-commercialized modern rock.
10. Melodic metalcore and electronicore. Both of them. No exceptions.
11. Modern heavy metal bands like Helloween (post-Metal Jukebox), Metallica (post-...And Justice For All), Hammers of Misfortune, Judas Priest (post-Demolition) and Avenged Sevenfold.

A whiny crybaby from Canada who, like Britney Spears, is just corporate garbage for the masses. She sold her soul to MTV and the radio, yet she still passes as an "artist" and a "very talented person". She has this "my life sucks and no one understands me" attitude on a lot of her songs, not unlike Good Charlotte or Simple Plan. 2004's Under My Skin shows her trying to do a few things that she isn't as well-known for on the music side, yet her lyrics still sound like they came from a grounded teenager who doesn't get to take the car out for the weekend. She should've been a one-hit wonder like Right Said Fred or at least a small industry plant, but is far from one and has had at least five top 10 hits as of 2007 ("Complicated", "Sk8er Boi", "My Happy Ending", "I'm with You" and "Girlfriend"). Her songs tend to be relatable for spoilt teens who don't really have that many problems and are too shallow for their own good. Avril may, at times, just be a pure ammuition for when boomers complain about what Generation Y listens to or what Generation Z listens to.
Avril Lavigne Fan: So you hate Avril, huh? If you don't like her, why would you even look her up in the first place, you pathetically immature bitch? To anyone like you who doesn't think she can sing or thinks she's trying to be somebody she isn't, you're a person who is jealous enough to go and criticize her to get attention. That's pathetic to me, you know.
Anti-Pop Snob: OK, first of all, don't call me jealous and don't ever think that's how I am. Second, Avril is a fucking whiny, pop rock, pussy-ass poser. How can she even be part of the culture or genre the media labels her as, even though I don't care about that. She looks and sounds like Christina Aguilera, plus she's soft as fuck! Her attempts at adult contemporary music, soft rock, soccer mom-core or whatever the fuck you want to call it–"I'm with You", "Complicated", "My Happy Ending", you name it–make her bland as hell and all she does in her songs is whine. Second and lastly, it's fucking pop music! It's Britney Spears, it's the Backstreet Boys, it's Madonna, it's *NSYNC, it's Christina Aguilera, it's Faith Hill, it's Shania Twain… it is what it is. Avril's not even fucking close to someone who's original or different and is just trying way too hard to be both. My, what a poser.

The name of an awful song by the gay, untalented singer Hilary Duff. Also used when someone tells the truth about something they've been lying about or wants to keep a secret.

1.) Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, Avril Lavigne and their fans.
2.) To pose and pretend you're not a conformist or a prep when you are.

Oh my God, you conform to everything you're being told to do when you don't think that's what you do! What a poser!
