Generic White Guy Voice

A phrase used to describe a type of voice often heard in popular rock music. Many bands' singers suffer from having this average vocal range. Bands such as Anberlin and Acceptance have singers with this type of voice. It isn't really bad, it's simply mundane and thus less entertaining than the unique voices of singers such as Jonathan Davis of Korn. The term is generally derogatory, but does not need to be.

Guy Who Likes Popular Rock Bands: "Hey did you hear that new single by Acceptance?"

Guy with Musical taste: "Nope. Their singer has generic white guy voice. Sounds kinda like a lot of other emo and pop rock singers to me. I prefer unique sounding singers like Edsel Dope of Dope."
