That's Rock Bottom
When this life makes you mad enough to kill
That's Rock Bottom
When you want something bad enough to steal
That's Rock Bottom
When you feel you've have had it up to here
'Cause you mad enough to scream but you sad enough to tear
That's Rock Bottom
-Eminem (Album: The Slim Shady LP)

A broad term for a variety of bands, spanning all rock genres, that transcend the typical styles and themes of their genres. The band often combines experimental, avant-garde styles into their music. Because of the nature of art rock, the definition is a vague one and person A may consider a band art rock, while person B does not.
The term originated in reference to bands such as pink floyd, who's members originally went to art school, but now can apply to even bands such as Thursday and Mineral.
Often confused with progressive-punk. Indeed, they were once synonyms, but over time have diverged; prog becoming it's own genre of music while art rock maintaining loose and subjective to interpretation.

No example needed the above definition explains it all.

Rock music with overtones of psychedelia. Generally blues based, like most rock, but often the most psychedelic aspects of this kind of music come from the juxtaposition of traditional rock sounds with outlandish ones (ie: When the Beatles used a sitar rather than a guitar).
The Psychedelic aspect can also come in the lyrics, though it is rare to see psychedelic lyrics without music that fits the part.
Popular techniques in this genre are to use exotic musical styles and warbly effects in order to simulate (or perhaps even STIMULATE) the effects of psychedelic drugs.
The definition of psychedelic rock is not set in stone, and therefore almost anything, even if it doesn't fit these criteria, can be included as long as it has that 'trippy' feel.

A die hard rock climbing enthusiast. Spends a significant number of days each year outside climbing, and often climbs in the off season when it's too cold for casual climbers. Sees climbing as more of a lifestyle than a hobby.
It was 40 degrees and windy in Yosemite Valley, but a few rock rats were already high up on the granite by 9am.

Hobbit Rock is term used to refer to late '60s and early-to-mid '70s prog rock, or most any music group that includes fantasy, fairy tale, medieval and related lyrics, imagery or sounds. Many songs and/or albums by Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Yes, King Crimson, Rush, Gentle Giant and others. The music is characterized by rapid tempo changes, rushed flourishes, folky breaks, long solos, exuberant stage sets and costumery, and instruments such as lutes, flutes, glockenspiels, pipes and crumhorns; i.e. a perfect expression of goofy 1970s rock excesses. While technically proficient and rather endearing as a time capsule, most of the bands associated with Hobbit Rock went downhill by the 1980s and suffered from weak songwriting and regrettable production values shared by other contemporary acts, such as stereotypical '80s-era guitar and drum effects. Hobbit Rock was especially popular in Italy, and enjoyed enduring popularity with nerds and libertarians.
