Super Tips's definitions
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.

The Beatles, The Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys, Suicidal Tendencies, Bad Religion, The Misfits, Black Flag and The Ramones are all rock bands. Avril Lavigne, Elle King, Pink, Hilary Duff, Kelly Clarkson, Imagine Dragons, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers and Weezer are all pop rock.

Get the pop rockmug. Of all the boy bands and of all the Disney pop idols, the Jonas Brothers are the worst of the worst. They have unfortunately come back with a new album recently. Oh, and their music is NOT ROCK. We don't mean that as being something other than rock (as long as it's not something we're wholly, diametrically, unequivocally opposed to in and of itself), but NOT ROCK as in IT'S NOT EVEN FUCKING CLOSE. Much like Avril Lavigne, Olivia Rodrigo, Pink and Kelly Clarkson, the Jonas Brothers represent the most embarrassing attempts to clone rock music out there.
Jonas Brothers Fan: The Jonas Brothers really are an awesome and a talented band. I'm proud of them. I don't hate anything about them! GO AWAY IF YOU HATE THE JONAS BROTHERS! YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS!
Anti-Pop Snob Who Has Taste: No! The Jonas Brothers are NOT talented and they are NOT awesome! They are manufactured, kid-friendly and mass-produced as hell! I can't believe America has enough idiots in it to let this crap become popular!

Get the Jonas Brothersmug. The last name of a non-rebel and a conformist who does whatever the music industry tells her to do instead of letting them give her the creative freedom to do what's right; therefore, she is poppy, unoriginal, radio-friendly, talentless, a sell-out, generic and a complete tool. She has been seen as a fad long passed by for ages now. Seriously, it was bad enough that Britney Spears' albums consisted of nothing but 3/4-bar crap, but this female "rebel" named Avril went and made things so complicated by doing it again.
Avril Lavigne has made the point that it is possible for people with absolutely no musical talent to make millions off of radio listeners. Why should she pound her point home by doing it again? About the subtle misandry thing... we know she's pop rock and therefore can't sing about anything without ticking off either her fans or her haters (mainly the latter), but she seriously needs to come up with something to sing about besides mild, vague sexist and misandrist statements. All she seems to do in her older songs is mope about having problems with her boyfriend. Even worse, she's vague and never clear about what those problems really are.

Get the Lavignemug. The whiniest singer of the 2020s next to Billie Eilish. I disagree with everyone who likes her, because Olivia will become more and more immature over the next 10-15 years. I mean, Pearl Jam and Pink Floyd were never immature enough to put out the same poppy, juvenile "rock" over and over again; instead, they actually made–not just rock–but garage, psychedelic, space, progressive, folk, experimental and even art music. However, Olivia Rodrigo the Avril Lavigne knock-off is a different story. She doesn't actually sound like rock. She sounds like an Avril/P!nk wannabe who was created long after the duet stopped being relevant. She also managed to release a new album this year. I know for a fact that it sounds horrible. Seriously, if you want punk, emo or alternative rock, don't listen to this. It's neither.
Olivia is nothing special or unique and is too whiny for her own good. She has no creativity, energy or talent. Her music is basically just whining. "Good 4 U" perfectly sums up my feelings towards her music. Her lyrics are immature and adolescent; they don't fit at all with any aspect of punk culture. More pop than rock. One of the most generic artists ever. Representative of a potentially creative junior high musician deciding to move from covers to original songs. Her lack of musical ability and talent is so blatant and obvious that it almost makes you want to burst out laughing when you listen to her music.

Get the Olivia Rodrigomug. 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.

Get the come cleanmug. Music that mixes elements of electronic dance music like house and techno with hip-hop. It can also be called hip house, rap house, or house rap.

Get the Dance-rapmug. The name of an awful song by none other than Carrie Underwood, who might as well be the utter nadir of music. This song comprises the absolute worst music in recorded history. No words can describe the torment of listening to pop country music, including this trash. I curse the day that Carrie won American Idol. In all seriousness, this song blows for how noble, proud and strong she tries to be on this one. Everything I said here is in reverse too. I mean, she's elevating herself from the basic visceral joy imagining busting somebody's overdetailed four-wheel drive! This doesn't make her seem strong, independent or respectable at all; she is weak, impulsive, vulnerable, thoughtless and immature for choosing to bust her boyfriend's truck in half a dozen ways. Break up with him instead, Carrie!
