friend-rock

music played by your friends that you don't necissarily like, but that becomes inexplicxable tolerable when someone you know plays it, and that you listen to anyway, becuase you're supporting them
I first saw heard this word from Sufjan Stevens in a Rolling Stone Q&A

I hate emo but I've been to every one of Sam's shows, and suprisingly they were'nt so bad. But I still hate emo. I must be into friend-rock
