Fringe Rock is a style of music that incorporates many different classic genres of Rock but does not fit neatly into any established micro-genre. It is Rock music that sits on the edge of commercial rock, hence on the "fringe" of what is currently mainstream.
The term can trace its roots back to the 1970s and the British TV program "The Old Grey Whistle Test" but it is not known if it was coined by "Whispering" Bob Harris or if it originated elsewhere. The Fringe Rock movement saw a resurgence in the UK in the 1990s, with bands such as Ether and Janus Stark, and in the USA with bands such as The Brian Jonestown Massacre & CAKE. Through the 2000s the Fringe Rock baton was carried by bands such as The Warlocks, Singapore Sling and The Dolly Rocker Movement.
The 2020s have seen renewed interest in the Fringe Rock scene with independent bands and artists rejecting the mainstream sound. Modern examples of Fringe Rock include Yard Act, DEADLETTER, Dazzle Rebel, Deep Tan, The Dirty English and Forty Feet Tall.

Get the Kid Rock mug.Bryan is a skinny imbecile with a hugely deformed jawline that looks like it came from area 51. When an image of his jawline is posted online, it gets automatically marked as "explicit images". The user must verify that they are over 60 years old. Thus, this proves how terribly bad his jawline is. Bryan possesses an ability to remove his jawline and throw it at any entity. The jawline will come to life and start snapping at the target until they eventually succumb to the power of his bad jawline.My laptop broke and I lost two eyes after I saw Bryan's jawline on the internet. I regret all my life choices.
