Perhaps the greatest and most inspirational genre of music, classic rock is also known as "Hair Metal". The name "Hair Metal" originated because of bands like Mötley Crüe, Van Halen and others. The enormous hair and skin tight leather pants, lyrics about girls and booze, and "fuck you" attitude is what sums up a classic rock band. Such bands were mostly popular in the 80's, but continue to live on in the hearts of many metalheads today.
Bands like Guns N' Roses, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Twisted Sister, and Def Leppard are all classic rock bands. Classic rock will forever live on.

As we all know after listening to Classical Music, Classic means crap which is a perfect description for this filth.
Classic Rock is a desolate tract of ogerish yobs pluking metal strings attached to blocks of wood and bashing trashcans with sticks while a very feminine castrated man that all sound like Robert 'I hate girls' Plant screams "Whole Lotta Love" and not one mention of smacking ya bitch or pimpin' ya ride is heard.
Go on Launch.com and search for Led Zeppelin and look at the Biography. They invented Metal which everybody hates and they stole all their riffs from other non-rap therefore crap artists. I haven't heard them but anyone that has to steal their music must be totally talentless because rock requires no talent to begin with unlike rap.
Listen to P.Diddy's 'Come With Me'. It has pretty corny lyircs but the beat is incredible and is better than anything Led Zeppelin could steal.
Rap was orginated by black artists unlike rock which Elvis created. Because we are better than you rap is far superior. If you disagree you are a racist and a neo-nazi KKK motherfucker!
My dad made me listen to 'Dark Side of the Moon' by Stink Floud and it only swore once! What a piece of crap! It is no masterpieve like 'Beg for Mercy' I can tell you.
I urge all you are old people living in the past to grow up. Times are changing, get with it, just the revolution. Music is finally good and you're still stuck in the 70s when it sucked!

If you listen to the music carefully, you'll notice, yes it is true, NONE of it is computer generated. It's all guitar crap! Who wants to hear a Satan worshipping drug addict scream about 'I WANT MA DRUGGGSSSS, GIMMMEEEE MYYY DRRUGGGSSS!'

Noun: A disease which causes ordinary people to become asshats who only listen to classic rock and claim it is the only good music ever made. A common factor of this disease is the individual being very unknowing about music and just listening to AC/DC and Queen. Commonly found in 12 year old boys on Youtube comment chains and in middle aged men. Can only be cured through maturity and respect for the opinions of others.
12 year old victim with Classic Rock Elitism "ZOMG modern music sux i love Ac/dC so much, and Im only 12."
Middle Aged victim (usually delusional and wrong)with Classic Rock Elitism: "I used to listen to classic rock artists like Nirvana and The Beastie Boys. Stupid kids and your Lady Gaga."

A person who loves the musical genre classic rock, which includes bands such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Doors, ACDC, and The Who. They are uninterested in modern music. Sometimes, they are of the opinion that any new music is terrible, in other cases they admit that some of it is good, it just doesn't interest them. Often times they find themselves pretending to love the new alternative band their friend is showing them while wishing they were at home listening to The White Album. Many classic rock junkies are afraid to admit they are indeed a classic rock junkie for fear of being called narrow-minded.
