Derogatory term for a style of hard rock that was prevalent in the 70s, practiced in its purest form by the band Foreigner. Few bands played cock rock exclusively, but some artists with cock rock tendencies include Bad Company, Peter Frampton, Grand Funk Railroad, the Rolling Stones, Ted Nugent, John Fogerty, Aerosmith, AC/DC, and Bob Seger.
Musically, cock rock overlaps with blues rock, southern rock, hard rock, and arena rock, but what ties it all together as cock rock is an egocentric, tough-guy swagger and lots of ridiculous macho posturing. The lyrics often equate hard-rocking with virility and dangerousness.
The genre's primary audience was (and still is) guys with mullets and Camaros.
Though cock rock still gets plenty of airplay on classic rock radio, there are (mercifully) very few new practitioners of the style.

When a group of males get together with erections and proceed to beat one female in the face with their penises....
The female must sit there and take cock after cock after cock after cock after cock until all males have ejaculated

AOR rock where the singer is bragging about the adventures of his cock. Most notably played by those radio stations that specialize in the Cro-Magnon arena rock of the seventies.
Jojo had his boombox on while working on his car on the blocks. He had it on the cock rock station KRAP.

A style of music that went out in the early 1990s. Although nu-metal could be considered a new form of cock rock, it is generally bands like Poison, Winger, at al.
Stop listening to that shitty, sexist, corporate, drug-fueled cock rock and put this Dead Kennedys CD on instead!
