Eighties era 'heavy metal'. Some bands even continued into the early 90's, while scant others exist today (aerosmith). Fashion items include, but aren't limited to, tight spandex (with or without leopard print), colored boas, leg warmers (over the pants), really tight leather jackets with studs in them, denim galore,etc. Hair was generally teased up with an insane amount of hairspray, known as the metal afro. Members wore copious amounts of makeup lending to a very sassy look. I can't believe this was once considered cool.
That old dude with the rusted out firebird in his front yard was blasting butt rock the other day.

Butt rock is a genre that is liked by many 30 year olds that still want to be cool and rocking. They will go to a local band's show at the bar and starting moshing and throw up a random "horns" sign while headbanging. The music can be described as chugging detuned guitar riffs with a singer/screamer that has a hint of a southern accent. You can expect the drummer of all butt rock bands to have a fan blowing his hair back. Some examples are Creed, Hinder, Shinedown, Seether, Crossfade, and any other band on the disc set of Buzz Ballads. Their lyrics are about their alcoholism or their insane mental sickness. Here are some generic butt rock titles
"Arms of a faceless angel"
"Remedy"
"Im an alcoholic 30 year old going through a midlife crisis"
"Honey, Im going to beat you"
"Arms Wide Open"
"Wazzup dog are you goin to the Disturbed and Nickelback show at the ampitheater?"
"Hell no, butt rock is for 30 year olds!"

I'd give "butt rock" a different definition. As opposed to late-'80s, early-'90s metal, butt rock is really exemplified by plodding, thudding, vaguely bluesy hard rock from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s.
Nazareth, Foghat and Blackfoot are all perfect examples of Butt Rock.

1) A cranked up, stiff non-syncopated drum beat. The snare drum must be very loud. This is a result of a music industry in the 1980’s that wanted to distance itself from any of the “boring” improvisational aspects of hard rock music.
2) Squealing lead guitar that lacks any semblance of feeling
and may be dropped into any other song on recording by said band.
3) Angry lyrics about teachers, cops and parents who are
always f-ing with you. Sometimes even librarians may be a target in videos.
4) Lyrics about being high.
5) Band members must laugh incessantly at all of their own responses to interviewer's questions. (David Lee Roth started this trend but he actually was funny.)
Butt rock is 1980's lightweight pop metal strutting with hair spray.

Cheesy 1980's hard rock/heavy metal, that might have sounded good back in the day, but sounds totally gay to people today.
Buttrockers typically had long girly hair, wore assless chaps or ball hugging leather pants, and the band usually had 1 guitarist, instead of 2. Most videos featured at a girl with horribly big hair.
Poison, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Warrant, Winger, Great White, Skid row, and their likes all played butt rock on the Sunset Strip back in the day.
