...i want to know it.
the other day i got into a heated argument on what classifies as "Butt Rock"
personally what i have found is that people tend to call the rock music that they dont like butt rock. my boss thinks its alternative 90s, my sister thinks its 80's metal, and i think its something completely different. a quick look at urbandictionary.com gave me a prime example. among several entries, this was the one that i most agreed with:
"Any music that was produced using predictable assembly line style power-chord structures and lyrics with absolutely zero forethought other than rhyme and easy mass-identification. If a band churns out more than one album per year, odds are favorable that they are a butt rock band. Bonus points if the lead singer attempts to emulate Scott Stapp because although Creed is not (quite) butt rock, there would be no butt rock without them. Pioneers of butt rock include Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd, Three Days Grace, Buck Cherry, and Hinder. The song "The New Sh!t" from Marylin Manson's "Golden Age of Grotesque" album can be interpreted as a poignant critique of butt rock."
*alter bridge would be so much better with scott stapp singing.

Hadn't heard of Hinder till now. Butt Rock, don't think I have even hear the term either. Butt thanks to you I now have heard both, for what it's worth. I can die now, heh.
catchy!
I cannot disagree. Tha's some butt ugly tunage. Cool pic, tho.
Was this a deliberate Toxic Tuesday entry, or just a happy coincidence? Either way, this is amazingly ghastly stuff. It's like somebody locked a bunch of professional wrestlers in a recording studio with Aerosmith and Huey Lewis CDs and a case of Boone's Farm and told they wouldn't be permitted to leave until they'd recorded an album...
yeah, here is some rock for ya!
aug: really? i keep hearing that term getting thrown around... must just be me.
dianne: i hope you mean the definition, however i plead guilty of liking a couple alter bridge songs.
spike: you would be surprised how many pictures of butt shaped rocks there are on google.
ivy: ha! i didnt even realize it was tuesday. it was fate i guess. funny, another urbandictionary definition states that butt rock is the music that WWF wrestlers come out to.
rawk: 'are you sure?' BAHAHAHA. that just made my day.
