A band that has went from being cool to a teeny bopper band. Hard rock turned to catchy toons that little girls and their moms can sing to together in the car.

Music that Boomers would listen to and/or write themselves. Picturing a 35-50 year old dance to these tracks puts your stomach in a knot. Inherently uncool. However, some very good bands today write embarrasing Dad Rock tracks.
They also tend to have long titles.

Un-Rock is a genre of rock and roll that evolved from psychedelic rock music first played by bands like Pink Floyd. By early 2005, there was enough analog and digital technology so that intricate and complex FX could be layered during live performances and recordings over guitar, live drums, bass guitar, vocals, or any other combination of instruments without the use of pre-recordings or computers. There is a heavy indie rock influence in this type of music. The guitar sound can range from clean to fuzz to heavy distortion. The drums are live and use a deep driving kick. The melodies tend to be simple with few chord changes. It can range from down tempo to punk rock fast. This type of music is considered to be the trip-hop of rock and roll. Sam Oak of Unfamiliar Occurrence helped shape the sound of this genre of music by getting inspired by bands like Wilco, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, and Arcade Fire.

1) A cranked up, stiff non-syncopated drum beat. The snare drum must be very loud. This is a result of a music industry in the 1980’s that wanted to distance itself from any of the “boring” improvisational aspects of hard rock music.
2) Squealing lead guitar that lacks any semblance of feeling
and may be dropped into any other song on recording by said band.
3) Angry lyrics about teachers, cops and parents who are
always f-ing with you. Sometimes even librarians may be a target in videos.
4) Lyrics about being high.
5) Band members must laugh incessantly at all of their own responses to interviewer's questions. (David Lee Roth started this trend but he actually was funny.)
