BigLeach65: Should Dad rock be a genre?

Rawmeeth38 02.09.16	Did you touch my drum set?
Archelirion 02.09.16	Depends if it's still being used as a pejorative :3
MO 02.09.16	no classic rock is fine
zakalwe 02.09.16	I bloody love step-brothers. Funny as fuck.
ScuroFantasma 02.09.16	agreed, great movie
Mythodea 02.09.16	is there sth equal for mothers? How would mom-rock sound?
JigglyPDiddy 02.09.16	I sometimes reffer to Hair Metal/Rock as Jellyfish Metal. Is that a thing?
onionbubs 02.09.16	Well, I will now
Mythodea 02.09.16	''Jellyfish Metal'' best thing I've heard today.
SCREAM! 02.09.16	"is there sth equal for mothers? How would mom-rock sound?" Sting, Chris De Burgh, etc
Snake. 02.09.16	step brothers was not good
JigglyPDiddy 02.09.16	Barry Manilow and Air Supply are the definition of Mom Rock/Metal.
DinosaurJones 02.09.16	Also, Rod Stewart.
JigglyPDiddy 02.09.16	When I become a mom, though, my mom rock/metal will not be those examples...
onionbubs 02.09.16	"Rod Stewart" [2] the only album on this list my dad likes is 5, unfortunately...
DinosaurJones 02.09.16	It's true, my dad likes all of this. He's also a big fan of: Santana Led Zeppelin Eric Clapton Jeff Beck ...I can't really complain about his music taste. It might be "dad-rock," but I still enjoy it.
Ebola 02.09.16	Rush isn't really "dad rock." Imo that's more like 70s and 80s soft rock, the Eagles for example.
SCREAM! 02.09.16	I wouldn't call Floyd (especially animals) dad rock either. Some of their songs might fit but overall I'd say prog is pretty separate from "dad rock", with dad rock being more straightforward and radio-friendly.
JigglyPDiddy 02.09.16	^^^what they said
wham49 02.09.16	hate the term, sounds lame, and there is not one thing lame about the bands on this list, this music is more forward thinking than most made today, in fact most newer bands try to emulate some aspect of Dad rock to mixed reviews
Underflow 02.09.16	I don't think so only because in ten-fiftenn yearss Radiohead is going to be dad rock.
Jots 02.09.16	implying Radiohead fans yield offspring
Snake. 02.09.16	rush isn't really "dad rock" unless your name is dalton dubois
wham49 02.09.16	good point underflow, my point exactly, old doesn't mean bad, newer doesn't mean good
claygurnz 02.09.16	Yeah not a fan of the term, has negative connotations imo
onionbubs 02.09.16	the rolling stones are pretty dad rock, i guess. Or at least, my dad likes them
MO 02.09.16	"hate the term, sounds lame, and there is not one thing lame about the bands on this list" this
SmileNerd 02.09.16	More of a category than a genre.
TheMagicalBlender 02.09.16	30 years from now Alice in Chains, Radiohead, and Nine Inch Nails will all be dad rock too.
Rawmeeth38 02.09.16	Alice in Chains and Nirvana already are
smaugman 02.09.16	dad rock is usually a term for those who think it's strange listening to "old" music
basikchanL 02.09.16	it isnt
smaugman 02.09.16	how do you define it then
Mythodea 02.09.16	don't take the joke too seriously
botb 02.09.16	Love dad Rock tbh
ArsMoriendi 02.09.16	I mean it's based on stereotypes of what a group of people listen to rather than the sound of the music itself... So obviously not. Plus it's ever changing, my dad likes poppy indie folk too. Are the Decemberists Dad rock? My dad loves them.
dbizzles 02.09.16	I always considered Dad Rock to be music that a middle aged father would think was jamming hard... like Foo Fighters. Not so much classic rock. I haven't thought much about it I suppose.
UpwardSpiral 02.09.16	Rod Stewart [3], Fleetwood Mac
braspberries 02.09.16	Wilco tbh
MyNameIsPencil 02.09.16	depends, will dad rock say it's going to the store to get cigarettes; only to never come home?
ArsMoriendi 07.15.19	Insults aren't genres, they're insults "dad rock" "mumble rap" "cock rock" "vapid pop" etc aren't genres, they're criticisms
kalkwiese 07.15.19	One day all rock will be dad rock and the community will be united again
Rik VII 07.15.19	A lot of genre names started as insults/criticisms. Like space opera, as an example outside of music.
rabidfish 07.15.19	only if we add the dad- prefix to all genres. wu-tang is dad-hop michael jackson is dad-pop merzbow is dad-noise
ArsMoriendi 07.15.19	The Velvet Underground is dad-hipstercore
kalkwiese 07.15.19	My Chemical Romance is dad-emo
ArsMoriendi 07.15.19	Beethoven is great great great great grandfather classical-core
Divaman 07.15.19	No. No, it should not. And I say that as a Dad.
Pikazilla 07.15.19	The Velvet Underground is dad-hipstercore Yeah, pretty much.
Pikazilla 07.15.19	Hispter dadcore.
rockandmetaljunkie 07.15.19	Since AOR is a genre i don't see why it shouldn't be
Larkinhill 07.15.19	The Beatles The Byrds The Doors Rush The Rolling Stones All my dad’s favorite bands. I wouldn’t call any of them dad rock tho.
Larkinhill 07.15.19	What the fuck is dad rock anyway? Just older music that dads listen to because that’s what they grew up with? I don’t understand that label. It sounds semi-insulting, but most “dad rock” bands are awesome.
Larkinhill 07.15.19	I always considered Dad Rock to be music that a middle aged father would think was jamming hard... like Foo Fighters. Not so much classic rock That’s interesting. Makes sense. So basically rock bands that are just alright, but dads love it because they think it “rocks out”, but that’s just because they’re comparing to stuff they grew up with.
Pikazilla 07.15.19	Yeah, Foo Fighters and Nirvana are most definitely dad rock lol
butt. 07.15.19	whitesnake is dad rock
zakalwe 07.15.19	It’s a sign of the times that nowadays ‘dad rock’ is actually considered ‘real rock’ and pisses over todays pretenders. Dad >
J() Alexander 07.15.19	Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs is the ultimate dad rock album tbh.
Larkinhill 07.15.19	Chili Peppers?
Asdfp277 07.15.19	no cuz as time goes on newer rock becomes dad rock
Divaman 07.16.19	That's true. Whatever you're listening to today = Dad Rock tomorrow. And your children will consider it to be elevator music.
