wunk rock

Wussy punk rock. A style of punk that blends pop melodies with humorous and often offensive lyrics.

• It's the epitome of the mainstream pop punk popularized by Blink-182. Many punk rock devotees criticize the music and lyrics as soft and non-confrontational (socially and politically), and thus unbefitting of the punk label, despite it's provacative nature.

• The term was coined by Nate Olson in the early 2000s to describe his band, Straight Outta Junior High. Local media adopted the term and helped popularize it's usage with the emergence of cyberculture.

Neo-rock

Neo-rock or negatively refered to as Beard rock (due to most musicans garnering long hair and beards) is a music genre currently developing in the USA, UK & Australia, mainly in response to the growing staleness, self-indulgence and over-saturation of indie rock bands which has been the only rock movement since the end of Post-punk revival and new rave. Typical instruments in the genre consist of Guitar, Bass, Drums, Woodwind, Ashbory Bass along with some other less commonly used instruemnts. Neo-rock's main sound is most commonly compared to that of late 60's Hard rock bands like Cream or Blue Cheer. The fashion of choice in Neo-rock is a fairly casual look with jeans, boots, and an occasional sabbath t-shirt. the genre's stylistic origins are deeply rooted in that of the late 60's counter culture movement, along with early 70's blues rock artists such as lynryd skynrd, neil young, and the allman brothers band. other less common influences on the genre are: Post-punk, Shoegazing, Psychedelic Rock, Progressive Rock, Math Rock, Post-rock, Krautrock, Ostrock, Art rock, Ambient, New age, and Experimental rock
