Last night, my dad called Wilco dad rock

Dadrock is music from pre-1990s that wrong generation faggots listen to and use to "prove" that older music is better than newer music.
Wilco cannot be Dadrock because it was in the 90's-2000's

By definition- Dadrock is popular rock from the 60s, 70s, and 80s that is not edgy and displays no tendancies of musical evolution. BUT in it's day, it was far out.

Dad Rock is the rock that normies of previous generations liked, which is why now so many people's dad's are said to like it--because most people's dad's are normies.

That's why Pink Floyd is called Dad Rock and something like Gong or even King Crimson usually isn't


[spoiler]That said Dad Rock isn't necessarily bad, it's just what was popular and continues to be popular for many. Just because something's popular doesn't mean it's bad[/spoiler]

Dadrock is old 60/70/80's music that only appeals to dad's and comes off as embarrassing to younger music listeners.

They all look like great dads.

I want Jeff to be my dad.

This is a massively faggy answer

>>64615118
I agree but I find it funny because my dad listens to most of the non dad rock stuff so ultimately I just see it as dad music.

>>64615118
Is Tom Petty dad rock?

>>64615263
Please provide a better answer other than "dadrock is not a thing"

>>64614884
My dad is a Gen X'er and listens to stuff like Pixies, Nirvana and Pearl Jam. I kind of consider that dadrock.

In my interpretation (lel) Dad rock is not necessarily seen as inferior music or not deserving of their popularity and/or legend-status, but rather an encompassing term for a lot of older music (60's to 80's) that is used to debunk and argue against millennials and younger who have read the Rolling Stones top 100 albums of all time list, and then think that music nowadays stinks, while it's just mostly them being inexperienced with the modern music scene.

>tfw get accused of being a le wrong generation faggot because my favourite bands are all from the 70s, 80s and 90s

My favourite genre is rock. It's not my fault all the best bands of the genre came from those decades. I've tried bands from the 2000s and 2010s but they honestly just bore me.

Dadrock just refers to mediocre FM radio shit from the 70s like Bob Seger, Eagles, and REO Speedwagon that middle aged men listen to while washing their car.

>forgetting Dire Straits
>forgetting the king of Dadrock, Bruce Springsteen

The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and CSN(Y) are all great bands dude and are still awesome today. Move them around with Cheap Trick and you're spot on.

Speaking of, I've noticed this one radio station from Toronto that plays what I'd call old man music. It's all rock but it's like old men growling and all I think is like its what people who are going through their midlife crisis listen to.

Like that song about heads that are heavy from wearing crowns

except they're actually good
