Rock music that boomers listen to and therefore is unhip.

See the reason people are mocking you is that you assume the only music that exists now is the stuff on the top 40 charts. This is untrue. There's more music being produced now than ever, and chances are you would like some of it even more than classic rock, but you instead bury your head in the sand and assume it's all shit just to act superior to the young uns. You probably assume all new music sounds like Skrillex or some shit.

>>8175383
man i miss when vaporwave was a visual art called pop art and was actually relevant and good

>>8175394
Not that anon and I agree with your overall point but the charts have legitimately gone to shit compared to what they once were. Strawberry Fields Forever and Like A Rolling Stone both almost made it to number one, I can't imagine anything like either of those songs in terms of inventiveness and emotion reaching the near top of the charts again, at least not for the foreseeable future. If someone was just looking at the surface level of classic rock and the surface level of modern music, it'd be easy to see why they'd pick the former over the latter.

>>8175407
ayo hol up imma let u finish but beyonce had one of the greatest videos of all time

>>8175407
http://polygraph.cool/history/

the charts have always been shit my friend

but in any case dad rock isn't the only pre-2010 music

What text in particular are you referring to? The only instance of this I can recall of is in Hallberg's "City on Fire"

I think it's a meme reference to a phase children sometimes go through entering adolescence, where they discard music from their current era and worship that of the past decades exclusively.

Making fun of it is part of the whole /ironic/ and "cringe" internet humor movements that peaked about 2 years ago. The bands listed still hold up, it's just sometimes they're associated with it all, well really just on 4chan now anyways.

Pic related is the epitome

>not listening exclusively to underground punk from your country

get out kids

>>8175541
Legit though bands like the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, the Who would not be so revered today had they not been jerked to oblivion by their awful awful fans

>Academics and renown writers talking about The Beatles as if they were high art

Music evolves, it's like saying the modernists were shit because we've got postmodernism, or whatrever kitchscy bullshit coming out nowadays.

Learn to appreciate everything. The dadrock meme is nothing but testament to /mu/'s tryhard faggotry and an indicator of not only their outward pretentiousness, but also their Holden Caulfield-tier immaturity

Hi John Green.

>>8175120

Perhaps the author is old enough those bands had a high impact on their life?

>>8175143

Is it bad if I'm in my mid-30's and think some of these are good? I don't feel that old.

>>8176076
>Is it bad if I [...] think some of these are good?
yes

>>8175541
all hail the music defener

>>8175541
Post a readable version

>>8175394
lol who cares if people mock. it's only gay teenagers and early 20 somethings that listen to a generations current music. their too young to even have a meaningful opinion on what's good anyways.

Anyone ever notice that they type of kids who use the phrase "dad rock" are usually the type of people who probably never met their fathers?

>inb4 u listen to dad rock XDDD

Nah pic related for me all day senpai

>>8175120
I don't like the music.
I am indifferent to the term,
But I hate the pretentious fags from /mu/

There is such a low barrier of entry to music. Any idiot can latch onto what is seen as cutting edge.


It's one of the easiest things to be pretentious about, just barley above anime.

>this whole thread
>>>/mu/
Jesus fuck there's more to music than rock, pop, and p4k-core
This is the equivalent of people arguing about books when all they read is bestselling paperbacks from wallmart.

>>8176414
I use it because it properly describes the aesthetic of people who think music died in the late 90s
I know my dad very well but he doesn't care for much music except for Elvis

>>8176466
I'm just saying that the kids who I've heard drop the phrase in real life have the whole nu male/psuedo hipster aesthetic going
