Corporate rock is rock music that fails critically but succeeds commerically. Corporate rock is typically appropriate for all listeners, lacks creativity or invention, and establishes broad appeal as a result of heavy marketing and media saturation.

Get the Corporate Rock mug.Most of the stations you hear everyday (the exception usually being small indie stations, college stations, some classical, folk, and jazz stations, and some Spanish stations which are sometimes illegal and/or unauthorized).
They aren't too bad, but they always play the SAME songs every single day despite claiming to have "today's hottest music" or "the best new music" or something like that. When you hear a good song on there, it's probably a sign that the song is getting old. They also play a lot of good songs to death. This is not usually the DJs' fault, because they are only allowed to play certain songs on a corporate playlist provided by their parent company. (the biggest parent company is Clearchannel).
Despite this, many have good morning shows with funny hosts to make up for the fact that they can only play certain songs.
Some of these stations are oldies, country, alternative, Spanish, or 70s and 80s oriented, but they still play a lot of the same songs all the time.
It would be nice if all the "mix" stations out there would actually have a bit more variety and play stuff by lesser known or popular underground artists.

Ex. I was listening to the radio today and it seems like all they played was Lifehouse, Gwen Stefani, the Goo-Goo Dolls, "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", "Holiday", some mid-90's stuff, and John Mayer. So much for "variety".

Get the corporate colostomy mug.Corecore is the hardest musical form of all cores. Its even harder than the time GG Allin shat on a record on stage. It is a musical style that connects 1000bpm hardcore with sirens to autonamous anarchist punk ravers in leather studded jackets and phat pants. It usually features a 'rise above the system', or 'destroy your parliamentcore' sample.
If corecore was a drug, it would be speedmethiceampetamineballs. It would be so powerful that you would have an instant heart attack, and no one would even notice because they are dancing like communist nihalists. (Which is the hardest form of core dancing availiable).
Corecore is usually played on cdjs as most of it is made in fruity loops on some 18 year old meth addicts home CPU.

I really like the Corecore musical stylings of M. Jatas.
There is a Corecore party at the Big Bop tonight; would you care to joing me Rebecca?
I am going to Cloud 9 to purchase the latest corecore musical blend tape.

Get the corecore mug.One who is involved in general debauchery during the week -drinking past midnight, hooking up with random girls, passing out in a place other than their own - but always shows up for his high paying corporate job on time each day. The person must be under the age of 35, have an income over $100,000, and never know the name of the girls he sleeps with.
