Laundry Rock

Overproduced, melodic, often folky and/or sometimes "indie" sounding music used in advertisements by large companies to market their products and services to young and/or hip consumers. There is a caveat to this definition as sometimes well established bands and artists license their music to these very companies for use in such advertisements. The term itself refers to laundry detergent ads, which are repeat offenders for this type of "la-la," feel good music.

Typically, acoustic guitars, glockenspiels, banjos and electro-mechanical keyboards (such as a wurlitzer piano) are common timbres heard in a laundry rock piece. Also common are soft sounding, layered male or female vocals.

Stock Rock

Rock and Roll music that is typically provided to commercial producers either royalty free or extremely cheap to produce. Notable for its cheesy quality and generic likeness to other Stock Rock songs found in varying commercials. Used by marketing to add an "impacting" or "badass" quality to the commercial, typically to questionable effect.

I get that this commercial is trying to sound badass, but I cannot take the Stock Rock music seriously.

Skipping Rocks

When you take a dump that feels like a good one but instead shoot out tiny pebbles that are unsatisfactory and usually splash up and leave your bottom wet. A benefit of this is that you will most likely be left with a 'rock bottom' that is a no mess no fuss clean up with little to no toilet paper usage.

I.e. : I was gonna lay some cable but instead wound up skipping rocks when I got home, but at least it was a one wiper.

Sedimentary rock

Sedimentary rock is the formation of deposited rock being compacted and formed into layers after millions of years

Dead organisms die and fall to the bottom of the water source and after long heat and compaction become peat a creamy brown substance soon to turn into to firm black coal after millions of years.Erosion can also cause sedimentary rock to form when the rock piles and becomes firm and sturdy.
