Stock Rock

Rock and Roll music that is typically provided to commercial producers either royalty free or extremely cheap to produce. Notable for its cheesy quality and generic likeness to other Stock Rock songs found in varying commercials. Used by marketing to add an "impacting" or "badass" quality to the commercial, typically to questionable effect.

I get that this commercial is trying to sound badass, but I cannot take the Stock Rock music seriously.

hybrid rock

1. While playing hard rock, you tend to mix it with jazz, punk, and ska guitar riffs for a melodic then upbeat sound. Normally played with double bass pedals for the drums and picking on the bass giutar.

2. When a band mixes two or more genres to create a different sound and style than the genres seperately.

" The natural outcome is one of those hybrid rock bands. Their music is hard to explain but easy to listen to."

Neo-rock

Neo-rock or negatively refered to as Beard rock (due to most musicans garnering long hair and beards) is a music genre currently developing in the USA, UK & Australia, mainly in response to the growing staleness, self-indulgence and over-saturation of indie rock bands which has been the only rock movement since the end of Post-punk revival and New rave of the 2000's. Typical instruments in the genre consist of Guitar, Bass, Drums, Woodwind, Ashbory Bass along with some other less commonly used instruments with regular inclusion of vocal harmonies. Seminal albums that influenced the genre in particular are At Filmore East by the Allman Brothers Band, UFO by Jim Sullivan and Fresh Cream by Cream. Neo-rock's main sound is most commonly compared to that of late 60's Hard rock bands like Cream or Blue Cheer although this is accompanied by an apprecation for more melodic and harmonious late 60's californian acts like The Mamas & The Papas. The fashion of choice in Neo-rock is a fairly casual look with jeans, boots, and an occasional pop culture referencing t-shirt. the genre's stylistic origins are deeply rooted in that of the late 60's counter culture movement, along with early 70's blues rock artists such as lynryd skynrd, neil young, and the allman brothers band. other less common influences on the genre are: Post-punk, Shoegazing, Psychedelic Rock, Progressive Rock, Math Rock, Post-rock, Krautrock, Ostrock, Art rock, Freak Folk, Stoner rock, Sunshine pop, Psychedelic pop.

Thad: "awww dude this is too heavy, and they all look like hobo's with those beards".
