Like a regular rock, but online. Mostly used as a substitute for the phrase "living under a rock". Used to refer to people who haven't heard of something important on the internet, possibly a meme. Used frequently by Charles Trippy.
Dude! That grizzly bear looks so much pedobear!
Whats a pedobear?
Ah, man, you've been living under an internet rock!

Rock and Roll music that takes you on an adventure. Similar to Adventure Metal, the umbrella term of adventure rock also encompasses the softer genres. All Adventure Rock music shares characteristics in name, style, and subject matter. Bands often have names depicting destinations or traveling, such as Journey, Kansas, Boston, Foreigner, Rush. AND/OR they create songs with different movements and fancy solos and develop fantastic and epic sounds and experiences: Queen, Tesla, Van Halen, Whitesnake. The ultimate Adventure Rock band is, of course, Led Zeppelin.
I made an Adventure Rock compilation for our road trip!

A sleek subgenre of pop rock prevalent between 1996 and 2001 which incorporates elements of '90s alternative rock as well as a distinctive corporate lyrical influence. Major mall rock acts include Smash Mouth, Barenaked Ladies, Fastball, Third Eye Blind, and "Green Album"-era Weezer. Some of the work of acts from the same era (Ben Folds Five, Cake, Eels) falls under the mall rock genre banner as well. The genre was greatly influenced by the soft and yacht rock scenes of the 1970s, intellectual '80s new wave, and '90s U2.
The scene rose after the decline of grunge in the mid-'90s. Many recording companies wanted to distance themselves with the self-destructive nature of the underground rock scene and favored more corporate-sounding groups. As a means to gain an even larger demographic of listeners, slicker production methods were used - such as the increased inclusion of synthesizers. Much of the music that rose to prominence during this time featured heavy consumeristic themes, and, while some acts used said themes ironically, most others rather promoted them. The music was meant to sound optimistic and hopeful, making it very successful for a good five-year period. Major hits of the era include "All Star" by Smash Mouth, "Islands in the Sun" by Weezer, "You Get What You Give" by New Radicals, "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies, "The Way" by Fastball, and "The Distance" by Cake. The style evaporated after 9/11. No major revivals of the sound have occurred since then.
"Weezer used to be a really good band... that is, until they went total mall rock!"

A skating trick where your front trucks, on a minipipe, go above the coping and you come back down fakie. See Rock and Roll also.

Beauty rock is a sub-genre of what is commonly known as Post Rock. It focuses on the artistry and musicianship of the music rather than marketability or radio-friendliness. Beauty rock groups such as Sigur Ros, Explosions In the Sky, The American Dollar, Glass America, and The Vegas Report typically use chord progressions, rhythms, and melodies that exemplify the players' skill while providing a sonically pleasing work. Beauty rock is sometimes minimalist and employs various instruments not commonly seen in the rock genre such as piano, strings, and bells. Sometimes referred to as "Movie Soundtrack Music," beauty rock is often contemplative, expansive, and emotionally driven.
"Sigur Ros is possibly the greatest Beauty Rock band known to man."
