Beta Male Rock

A style of soft rock originating in the mid 90s that usually consists of lyrical themes are drawn from a put on “soft guy/lonely” persona, and consists of dudes in their late 20s with skinny jeans and long hair singing about how a woman betrayed them, how they got cucked by another dude, or how lonely they are in the world. It also contains the same 4-5 chords on guitar and a single beat on drums throughout the entire song. The typical fan of this genre can be expected to be a guy who likes to act like he cares about social issues, and worships women because he’s so starved of pussy that he must sacrifice everything that makes him a man. Examples of beta male rock bands are: Gin Blossoms, The Goo Goo Dolls, Counting Crows, Matchbox Twenty, and Lifehouse.
