| Nobody likes shitty snarky insider terms. | |
| If you want a discussion, why not just name an era? | |

| This,also don't tell me that CAN,Lynyrd Skynyrd,and Bryan Adams were all really acshually exactly the same musically because they used muh guitars and existed between The 1960s and The 1980s. Obviously at least some variation there. | |

| Peter Gabriel is incredible, but barely dad rock these days. Shit, Weezer is dad rock now. I was born in 89 and my own parents loved Genesis. | |

| Steely Dan. Unironically find them better than TVU, Talking Heads and MBV. Not as original, but still "better". | |

| Can is not dad rock, it was far too underground. | |
| Popular prog bands certainly are, even Frank Zappa, at least Bobby Brown. | |
| Dad rock is something that is played at BBQ party when uncle plays guitar with Grill spatula and everyone knows the words. | |

| I mean I get it, I wouldnt call Tears for Fears dadrock since they were more a new wave/synthpop group and aligned to the "alternative" sort of thing, but that song does get played a LOT on classic radio and was a huge mainstream hit in the 80s. | |
| But yeah when I think dadrock I think more like a stereotypical 70s-80s heavy macho rock sound, like AOR, blues rock, arena rock etc, ZZ Top and what not. New wave is separate from that, its more sensitive and artsy and introspective. | |
| --- 115914048 | |
| My Dad only listens to classical, country from before 1980 or so, and mariachi. He particularly hated Adelle and Smells Like Teen Spirit. | |
| --- 115914091 | |
| >>115914017 | |
| my dad listens to new wave but also listens to classic rock | |
| but i agree i see them as kind of separate, even though itd fit if dadrock meant any old music or music your dad listens to. | |
| "dadrock" is like zeppelin, queen, pink floyd, GNR, acdc, aerosmith, bob seger, kiss, eagles, steve miller band type stuff. not necessarily bad, but describes a different type of vibe. | |
| even though stuff like say depeche mode or tears for fears or new order are 40+ years old at this point and your parents probably listen to them, its hard to call that stuff dadrock, doesnt really fit with it and you never hear those on the dadrock station | |

| no i dont smoke that shit. my point is that "dadrock" is changing. its not just 70s or even 80s music anymore, now dude's in their 30s and 40s grew up in 90s-00s so thats the new dadrock | |
| --- 115919216 | |
| Ignoring the confines of "dad rock" here is some rock my dad listens to and I also like: Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Who, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Metallica. | |
