1. Originally meant to refer to the type of pop-folk music one might hear from artists and bands that would play at Lilith Fair, i.e. mostly acoustic music with supposedly deep meanings. So named because fans of this style of music were known to be passionate about wearing Birkenstock shoes in the late 90's when Birkenrock was the genre du jour.
2. Now, the word is expanded to also include slightly more testosterone-laden acts (but only slightly). In addition to the Lilith acts, acoustic male acts that a little bit too positive to be emo are Birkenrock.

* Wearing birks does not make you a lesbian--they are after all just sandals. But if you feel like waving a flag, a pair never goes awry.
** Maitenance: Seal the cork with contact cement to prolong life. You can get them re-corked and re-soled for less than half the original cost, so they can concieveably last forever.
