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.

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.

simp rock

A type of music sung from a male point of view, generally falling in the "easy listening" genre, whose subject matter focuses on one or more of the following themes: 1) How wonderful life is to have a certain current romantic partner (generally a woman), 2) How wonderful life was when one had a certain romantic partner (generally a woman), 3) How horrible life is now that one does not have a certain romantic partner (generally a woman), 4) How horrible life was UNTIL one found a certain romantic partner (generally a woman), or 5) How one will do anything it takes to keep a current romantic partner. Almost any song from the band "Air Supply" epitomizes this.
I know she dumped you, but listening to that simp rock is just going to make you feel worse! (OR) Hey! I know that you're excited about your new woman, but don't go singing that simp rock to her.
