Rock Band

The best invention to make your children want to play real life drums. Using a guitar hero drumset makes the drums in the game look pretty much identical to regular drum kits. The game is obviously similar to guitar hero except that now you have drums and microphones. Playing the guitar im this game wont make you come far in real life, but learning how to play the drums will make you get a good sense of BPM. The singing on easy will simply make you understand the lyrics, but even if you sound a horse getting buttfucked in the face you can get lots of points. If you want to learn drums, rock band can be a good start for you. When you manage to complete expert without trouble, you can start learning which pattern resembles the correct pad on real drums ( on most drum kits.) rock band was the reason i learned how to play drums, and became the most repected guy in my school. Practice=skill!

Rock band dude: i just started playing rock band and got addicted therefore i wanted to learn real drums.
Guy #1: cool story bro.

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.

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.

Band: The Postal Service
Song: "Such great Heights"
ad: Intel based Apple Computers

Band: Wilco
Song: "Walken"
ad: VW Automobile

smart rock

a made-up categorization, term and catchword for multiple rock genres like psychedelic rock, experimental rock, prog rock, post-rock, space rock, art rock etc. (the same applies to metal genres) that tend to be more complex and diverse both lyrically, musically and technically than most genres of mainstream music, the lyrics tend to be more sophisticated and than your average pop song and common themes include:

philosophy, social criticism, psychology, politics, spirituality, poetry.

Although it is not uncommon for songs of these genres to be instrumental, as they are letting the music itself tell the story rather than vocals.

the music itself is more complex technically and longer and tends to focus more on the ambience (timbre) and technicality of the piece, rather than instrumentation and melody, although some genres are also known for being melodically and/or harmonically complex. Since this music is not intended to be mainstream, most of its listeners are a niche audience. So although "smart rock" is very good, not many people know it since it's usually anti-mainstream, but nonetheless it's still good music.

Although there are differences between those genres, the one similarity is that they all lean on experimentation and inventiveness.

Bands that could potentially fall into this categorization are bands like:
Tool, pink floyd, the doors, king crimson, porcupine tree, rush, radiohead, etc.

Dude 1: What music do you listen to?
Dude 2: Rock
Dude 1: Oh, you listen to AC/DC, Guns n'Roses, right? Maybe some Nirvana? Those are great bands man!
Dude 2: Nah, i'm more into psych rock, prog rock, you know all of those genres.
Dude 1: Oh, so you're into smart rock.
Dude 2: Yeah, man! (puts on headphones and listens to 35 minute prog rock track with 67 solos in one minute, talking about dragons and fantasy)
