Dadrock
Term used by children who are angry that most of the modern music they listen to from their generation is garbage in comparison. Unable to come up with viable comparisons to previous classic bands and musical artists, they resort to insulting all of them at once in a dismissive and condescending tone.
"Hey Paul, why do you listen to that garbage Ke$sha and that little pop-brat Lady GaGa, who pander to the lowest common denominator in order to sell records based off their intrinsic reliance on the inversion of past trends, fads, and ideas in order to seem edgy and intelligent? Why not listen to some classic music like Led Zeppelin, Simon and Garfunkel, or Iron Butterfly, or The Eagles, who instead rely on their ability to craft music and lyrics which are both sentimental but also relate-able because of their universal and endearing subject matter?"

dad rock
Dad rock is defined as the genre of music that is listened to uniquely by fathers, not grandfathers or children or mothers (though mothers may have adapted survival strategies to tolerate or ignore dad rock music). To be a dad rocker, you must own albums by all of the following three defining bands of the dad rock genre: Tom Petty and the Heart Breakers, Phill Collins, and Sting. Dad rock is most commonly heard blasting out of cameros, el caminos, vans, and large trucks on cassette or from the home on vinyl or, occassionaly, compact disc.
The triangle of dad rock power consists of Phill Collins and Sting making up the base corners with Tom Petty at the apex. Within the triangle, you can expect to find other artists, though we hestitate to define them here.
