Get the nimlet mug.
A form of music in which the singer moans on about their life in a whiney voice to a lame, watered down rock backing while pretending to be metal.

Often mistakenly called Nu Metal by people who don't realise that was once a legitimate musical movement before it was hijacked.

Prime exponents of the Whinge Rock scene are Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd, Linkin Park and Evanescence.
"God I hate Whinge Rock. I want to hear an angry man shouting, not some whining little bitch."
