"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?
Chris: Dude Rock

A genre of music that targets 13-21-year-old males who seek a Hard Rock sound, yet still seek such music through MTV-type outlets. 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.
Tom thinks he's so cool with all those vintage clothes and that spiked hair; he's always claiming to be the king of underground music. But when we were in his car, he only played Dude Rock.

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.
1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
