A recent genre of music, mostly found in the independent music scene. This music is so influenced by the classic rock, psychedelic rock, and pop-rock music of the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s, that it's resemblance to its inspiration cannot go unnoticed or uncommented on. Usually including large amounts of reverb throughout each instrument, utilizing the most common instruments used to create a rock band (Vocals, Drums, Bass, Keyboard, Guitar). Essentially, this music sounds as if it was actually recorded decades before it's release.
Have you heard the new Temples record? It's some pretty good nostalgia rock.
Guy 1: That Seattle band, La Luz, is so reverb soaked and inspired by Californian beach music. It sounds like it's from the 60s!
Guy 2: Yeah, they're so nostalgia rock.

Get the rock as fuck mug.An offshoot of '80s hair metal which was known for containing cheesy, dirty lyrics. Usually the lyrics were about things like how big your dick is or cumming all over the place. Not really worth listening to if you actually like good music. It sold because girls bought into it, but then it faded because of the rise of grunge.
The only hair band worth listening to is Dokken, because at least they're not a bunch of cock rockers who only talk about the size of their schlongs and how many girls they've fucked.
A prime example of cock rock is Poison. Just look at them. Their pants are uber-tight, because they like to show off the size of their packages.

Get the fringe rock mug.To thoroughly rock a large area. "Rocking" however does not have to involve music. If you "rock" at anything, that will do. Tenacious D made this a famous saying with their TV show that aired in the late 90's on HBO.
