Also known as poser rock, mall rock or fake rock, this non-rock genre is characterized by a strong commercial appeal, with emphasis on professional songwriting and recording craft. Pop rock was created by bored, moronic suit and ties at record labels, radio stations and MTV letting everyone clamor onto another phony genre. Pop rock is typically characterized by the following:
1. Lame pop melodies screamed by women, so-called "country" rednecks who sing corporate pop, gay boys or pseudo-sensitive yuppies who have no historical knowledge of rock and roll and think that's what they are when they're not even close.
2. A complete lack of any talent or difficulty.
3. Queen, even though they're a good band with godly album tracks.
4. Pointless lyrics, along with a lack of passion, artistry, subelty and intelligence.
6. Pop punk or emo pop/mall emo bands.
7. Jangly, treble-heavy, droning, bright, twangy "DING-DING, DANG-DANG" riffs that are played on repeat.
8. Artists being stuffed under "alternative rock" by the media so record companies can put out as many clones of lesser-known or often-feared genres to be consumed by the masses.
9. Post-grunge or over-commercialized modern rock.
10. Melodic metalcore and electronicore. Both of them. No exceptions.
11. Modern heavy metal bands like Helloween (post-Metal Jukebox), Metallica (post-...And Justice For All), Hammers of Misfortune, Judas Priest (post-Demolition) and Avenged Sevenfold.

Get the pop rockmug. by ArkMakesWords September 27, 2020
Get the Rock dogmug. A mythical creature that is a combination of both rock and donkey. It has the force of a Rock and kicks like a Donkey. It plays with a heart yet plays hard like stone/rock. This crazy breed somehow comes together for the win. The Donkey Rock has earned its place as the mascot of Malverne/East Rockaway's Lacrosse team.

Get the Rock manmug. (Not to be confused with the song "Midnight Rocks" by Al Stewart) Midnight Rock is a music genre that consists of very calm rock music that you would play between midnight and three in the morning while driving on a dimly illuminated and empty highway.
Person 1: "Man, I sure do love listening to Who's Crying Now by Journey while cruisin' down the highway in the middle of the night."
Person 2: "Oh, you seem like someone who would enjoy Midnight Rock."
