dad rock is boring, safe, generic rock music bordering on folk

Journey, a once promising Jazz Fusion rock band turned to dadrock shit

>>72603526
why not talk about the music you love instead?

But wasn't rock supposed to be rebellious and dangerous?

>>72603526
Better than rap, that's for sure.

>>72604089
At least rap is for adults.

>>72604089
can you fuckers just call it hip hop
rap is not a genre
its like calling opera singing

Please specify what you mean. Dad rock can literally anything from true patrician level to wannabe cool pseudo-rebellious corporate crap.

>>72604266
name one good dad rock album

>>72603526
>>72604280
dadrock = any rock music more than 5 years old.

>>72604266
Dad rock is inherently bland crap. Wilco, u2, springsteen, etc.

>>72604339
great argument
no, dad rock is any rock music (but mostly rock music from late 60s to early 80s) deemed superior which is propagated by dads with shit taste

its pop music for people who want to look intelligent

Kanye West is dad hop.

>>72604352
t. underage

But i do agree with Wilco

>>72604280
pink floyd - animals
king crimson - in the court of the crimson king
yes - close to the edge

itt: daddy issues

Isn't rock supposed to be the anti-thesis of intelligent though?

>>72604407
Wilco is just bland soft rock/yacht rock revival shit. Nothing remotely indie or "krautrock" or country influenced about them.

I think rap has you covered there

>>72604352
This is not the epitome of dad rock. U2 i agree with but Bruce has made great music. Dad rock is like AC/DC and Def Leppard. Shit like Motley Crue whose only fanbase is people who gave up in 1989. Bands who have aged worse than fucking milk

>>72604379
examples? 80's Journey is pop-rock - no different from pop-rock of any other decade.

>>72604478
Well floyd made it quite clear than rock and roll needs no education.

>>72604523
AC/DC = hard rock
Def Leppard (80's) and Motley Crue = hair metal/glam metal.

So what is 'dad rock'?

U2 really is fucking shit.

>>72604523
See, this guy here is on my level. But clearly many of you are not. We've got fucking King Crimson being branded dad rock when most won't know it beyond the ITCOTK cover.

>>72604379
>rock music from late 60s to early 80s

So the biggest era of rock music is all 'dad rock'?

>>72604523
One could say that spoiled milk is definitely one of the hardest acquired tastes to get tho.

Very patrician.

>>72604196
lol

>>72604629
Most dads are from the 60s-80s too.

>>72603526
ITT: guys who will only listen to music from the 2010's their entire life and in the future will bitch that music sucks compared to *their* day.

>>72604563
They aren't mutually exclusive. See >>72604379

>>72604629
Only the popular rock from that era is dad rock, not all of it. Basically just the shit that would play on classic rock radio.

>>72604563
Shitty rock and roll that, defying all logic, is still popular because 50 year olds cant let their 20s go.

2bf it sounds to you that way to you cause you are an ignorant retarded fag with no sense of context to know all music copied shit from dad rock and that influence makes you think that. The point is, back then it wasnt generic but the contrary and back then people listening to it weren't dads. Gona happen to you (inb4 simpsons forever quote)

>>72604064
It was back then but OP is retarded. Is like saying all historic heroes are shit cause were misoginistic/racist cause by today standards they are but things were different back then.

You must be a millennial.

Maybe you don't like what is called "Dad-Rock" now but back in the late 70s-mid 80s admitting you liked punk rock was literally taking one's life into one's own hands.

I guess one had to be there.

>>72604810
If it was popular, it is dad rock.
If it wasn't popular, its not.

What about unpopular albums from popular artists?

What about album cuts from popular albums?

>>72604829
So if you think its shitty, its not just shitty - its dad rock?

>>72604834
Were they good because not that popular?

Is 'The Boys Are Back In Town' good? Because man is that song popular!

>>72604834
Dad rock can be good then?

Dad rock is an extension to such things as:
- Dad hobbies
- Dad fashion
- Dad bod
- Dad jokes

a close synonym to "Dad" things would be "Milquetoast" and "passed their prime".

>old Music I don't like is Dad music

>>72605218
or "classic", "great", "enduring"

>>72605037
I dont thibk shitty rock really exists. Actual shitty songs died their natural deaths before i ever listened to them. Dad rock, to me, is music by bands that was popular because it followed a formula, and was popular at the time because of dumb young adults who are now dumb old adults. Like imagine 3-6 Mafia in 1988

>>72605464
No.

>>72605477
so, 'formulaic rock of yesterday'?

I can get behind that definition. I guess every subgenere of rock have formulaic artists, and successful ones too.

Lots of them helped invent the formula, and then repeated themselves alot.

>>72604523
>AC/DC
But Bon Scott AC/DC is actually pretty good. Back in Black onwards is Dadrock though

>>72605541
>Back in Black onwards is Dadrock though

Highway to Hell is not dadrock, but Back in Black is?

>>72603526
>Europe
>Boston
>Asia
>Kansas

>>72604196

so why do niggers act like children?

>>72605539
that is a fantastic definition. Dad rock of yesterday. I agree with that last bit absolutely too. Nothing was more disappointing than discovering a good artist, i.e. Metallica or Guns N Roses, and realizing, as you listen to their discography, that they made three good albums, and have now been doing the same shit for like 15 years.

>>72605541
Dad rock isn't necessarily bad, like >>72605539 said, some bands invented a formula, then repeated that formula ad nauseum. I fucking hate post-Scott AC/DC.

>>72605610
This desu. Just add on Foreigner.

>>72603641
Spbp

>>72604379
Is Beefheart dadrock?

>>72605602
Night Prowler, If You Want Blood(You've Got It), and Beatin' Around the Bush prevent the album from becoming full dadrock in my opinion, but the rest of the album could be considered the start of the band's decay

By OP's logic, Nirvana is now Dad rock, which it is, fight me losers.

>>72604445
Wrong. Can't think of a rock band more influenced by gram Parsons, a country rock icon, than Wilco.

>>72605610
Kansas is actually really good though.

I only listen to classic rock. Am I a terrible person?

>>72605807
hell naw
>>72606377
They straddle the corporate/true prog line harder than anyone I've heard.

>>72606427
>they straddle the corporate/true prog line harder than anyone I've heard

That means they achieved the perfect balance of both realms.

Since pic related Swans are Nu-AOR
And AOR was always the epitome of Dad Rock

REEEEEEEEEE FUCK YOU DAD
REEEE I HATE EVERYTHING DAD LIKES
REEEEEE
DAD BAD
REEEEE love me dadddy why dont you love me

this just in: popular music is simplistic

>>72604478
Trumptards pretend this is any different from pop music in general just cause daddy didnt like niggers

if someone says bon jovi im going to blow up a building

>>72608786
jon bovi

>>72603526
Steely Dan is patrician Dad Rock

>>72604196
fuck me i lold

i quite like hip hop, but it is clearly aimed at juveniles by nature of the catchy, easy to listen to rhythms, and often offensive but (mostly) un-insightful themes.

anon you're delusional, and seem to be mistaking being 22, living with your parents with no income and browsing the internet every night as being an adult.

>>72605109
yes, don't listen to those insufferable fools.
you can enjoy your dad bleeps,dad raps, dad rock, and modern bleeps,rock,and rap

>>72606194
yeah, but nirvana is fucking amazing.
i fucking hate kurt cobains image and all that, but you can't deny that fucker had an amazing talent.

>>72606423
no, but you might want to expand your musical tastes, because you will get bored of it someday.

>>72604379
>its pop music for people who want to look intelligent

As opposed to (((underground))) music for people who want to look intelligent

Kansas, perhaps the most unfairly criticized band in rock history, was a excellent band that ended up giving prog some accessibility , especially in America.

Like most bands, they eventually went off the wheels, but Point of Know Return is a very good album with their most consistent quality.

>>72606613
On Leftoverture/Point of Know Return, I would say yes

>>72609226
It was all Dave Grohl and Bitch Vig
