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."

Every song REM or Michael Stipe ever sang.

(“Myeh Myeh Myevery Booody hurts” plays on the radio)
Person B: Don’t ear rape me with your bull shit Whine Rock.
