A genre of music, really a supergenre, encompassing many other genres including indie rock, indiepop, twee, britpop, shoegazer, electronic, electro, glitchpop, some singer/songwriter, lo-fi, and older genres including punk, new wave and Madchester. Former terms were "Modern Rock" or "Alternative," but these became obsolete when their meaning was corroded circa 1992. They then became used to describe corporate nu-rock.
Record store clerk 1: "So, I listen to a lot of bands. Like, Flaming Lips, Death Cab for Cutie, Ballboy, Doves, My Bloody Valentine, Royksopp, Adult., Lali Puna, Denison Witmer, Daniel Johnston, The Ramones, The Clash, Talking Heads, New Order and Primal Scream, just to name a few. I feel like it's all one supergenre, but I don't know what you call it."
Record store clerk 2: "You'd call that Post Modern Rock."

Get the Post Modern Rock mug.Modern rock is a radio format often wrongly used interchangeably with Alternative Rock or other genres. The simple fact of the matter is that since "Modern Rock" just refers to recent bands and actually doesn't actually follow any specific style, it is not a genre at all.

Get the Modern Warfare 2 mug.A political term, referring to a specific person who has metaphorically removed his/her head from the anal cavity and chosen to think and reason for oneself. Moderates do not use partisan propaganda in their logic or rationale; rather, they choose to examine candidates and issues with a logical and critical eye. Moderates will vote for the candidate who they believe will do the least damage and is lesser of two evils (as we know anyone who willingly chooses to become engaged in politics as a career is inherently evil). Moderates and history teachers/majors are the last bastions of the thinking man in modern-day politics.
