Whinge Rock 

The nasty emo step-child of nu metal. It is the bands trying to bridge the gap between Mudvayne and Madonna. They think they can be emotive and whiny while still being rock. They are wrong.
Moron: I hate nu metal. Nickleback is for losers.

Me: Nickleback is whinge rock. You're a moron.

Whinge Rock 

Whinge Rock consists of all the bands your dad probably likes. Prime examples of whinge rock are mediocre bands such as Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd, 3 Doors Down, and Three Days Grace. Whinge rock is characterized by power chords, a singer who tries to sound tough, and being repetitive. Linkin Park, albeit whiny, is not whinge rock because the fanbase is too young, and it has more nu-metal traits than those of rock.
Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd, and 3 Doors Down just toured together. It was the ultimate tour of mediocrity and whinge rock.

Whinge Rock 

A form of music in which the singer moans on about their life in a whiney voice to a lame, watered down rock backing while pretending to be metal.

Often mistakenly called Nu Metal by people who don't realise that was once a legitimate musical movement before it was hijacked.

Prime exponents of the Whinge Rock scene are Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd, Linkin Park and Evanescence.
"God I hate Whinge Rock. I want to hear an angry man shouting, not some whining little bitch."

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
