There is one other term for butt rock. It has nothing to do with a genre of music or era, like all of the above, but actually has to do with music within a movie or video game.

Butt rock is terribly cheesy heavy metal played in a scene or moment to make it more "intense". Hundreds of things have butt rock, usually in action movies and games. The music isn't by any particular artist, but just created by some people. Think of it as Elevator music.
I couldn't stand the butt rock playing when he whipped out that machine gun and shot all those ninjas.

Also, know as "Fag Rock". Originating in the late 90's and continuing into the early 00's, this was the favourite music of the lost generation with no real musical identity - Grunge was gone, and a new wave of faggy frat-boys with wallet-chains emerged. These were untalented douchebags that sang about beer and cars and frat parties and scoring their best friend's girlfriend. Mundane, boring, clichéd, tripe.

Fagrock (or butt-rock) bands include:

1. Millencolin
2. Blink 182
3. Sum 41
4. Stain’d
5. Alien Ant Farm
6. Linken Park

Dude - you listen to Puddle of Mudd? But they're butt rock - you essentially have no taste in music. It's a pity you weren't born 10 years earlier, you would have had dozens of awesome bands to grow up with like Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, RATM, Faith No more, RHCP, Smashing Pumpkins, Blind Melon, etc. You've been left with the dregs.
