Music that appeals "not to fans of music, but fans of high fives."
Dude Rocker: "Hinder's new album is DOPE!!! Gimme a high FIVE!!! *skulls back beer while wearing trendy jeans, crappy highlights, and has 'the game' on in the background*
"Dude Rock" applies to most of the mediocre pseudo-rock bands like Nickelback, Hinder, and Theory of a Deadman. Basically these bands are made up of guys that have highlights and wear designer clothes writing songs about how badass they are, how much they love to drink and party, how hot there girlfriend is, and how they can kick your ass. They also right really "sensitive" ballads for the ladys.
The first time I ever heard this term used was in allmusicguides review of Hinder's Extreme Behavior album when the review said that Hinder is "straight up dude rock" or something like that.
Eddy: What do you call all these crappy bands on the radio that sound exactly alike?

Such music is given great care and concern when appealing to such an audience; thus it is often produced, analyzed, and marketed down to the finest deltail, giving it an air of high-production fakeness that one gets when watching a Hollywood Sitcom.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"
FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
