Inspired by the mid 20's to early 30's people, mostly men, who really only listen to Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins with some NIN, Weezer and Soundgarden thrown in. These people weren't hardcore enough in this era to be fans of The Pixies, Pavement or Sonic Youth.
A.K.A. most of my friends from high school who really no longer buy albums.


Then there's 3rdeyecreedbox20 -- people who cite the above bands as "Major INfluences" and listen to open shite like Creed.

And then call me to tell me they d/l/d the ArCtic Monkeys album.

"Regional Manager Rock"

I would like to coin a related term, "Middle Management Rock," which consists of stuff like Jimmy Buffett. I swear, whenever this doofus shows up in town, every mid-level manager in every company goes nuts. It's all you'll hear about for weeks leading up to the show, and the day of the show they all come to work in their Hawaiian shirts and cargo pants, chumming around with each other, acting like they're all going on vacation for two weeks together. The next day, they all show up late and hungover, having fervently partied their middle-management asses off. Can't wait for the next tour!

borrowing from a post I made back in the CMJ days.

"smoking crack with a hooker in your parents basement rock" or just crackrock for short.

I think Black Eyes would be the flagship band on this one.

electonic country music


You had me til 'Cunt'

I really thought it was gonna be electronica for people that wear capes. But not like Gothtronica. More in a Sesame Street Count or Count Chocula way.
