You think Soundgarden affected Queens of the Age's success?

Dad Rock is a term for what a stereotypical Dad listens to, not any Rock that's old

My Dad loves Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, but he would never listen to The Fall

I picture Elph's dad getting up in the morning, putting on Jesus Christ Pose real loud, cracking an egg into his tall glass of southern comfort, knocking it back and then having a line of coke in the bathroom. Elph comes downstairs, button up shirt on, real serious "Hey dad i'm going out to look for Mark E Smith records and contemplate how bad everything before and after punk and post-punk music is" and wanders out the door.

"I dunno what happened to that kid, but I tell ya somethin ain't right" He says, before high fiving elph's mother and then they both play sweet duelling guitar solos on flying Vs.

Elph could you get your dad to start posting here? Sounds like a pretty cool dude really.

basically if it's not cool to you, it's "dad rock".

never mind that it's possible for someone your dad's age to like post-punk.

yr dad seems pretty cool

[Elphenor]

My step Dad also likes Soundgarden and Pearl Jam.

They're the most unchallenging rock bands of that era pretty much

[Elphenor]

I took it they thought I was referring to any Rock that's old thus the spelled out explanation

[Elphenor]

My Dad is typical southern conservative Dad.

The reason Dads like Soundgarden and Pearl Jam is because it's unpolitical, unchallenging, manly Rock.

The same reason my Grandpa likes Led Zep

[dreams of glass]

why does "Rock" (uppercase R)

have to be "political and challenging"

also unmanly?

[Elphenor]

Those are basically the attributes that matter in Rock

[dreams of glass]

also I think Pearl Jam and SG had some political stuff, maybe not overt

I mean they're no RATM

[dreams of glass]

the unmanly part?

[Sonic Johnny]

...in your opinion?

[Elphenor]

It's about way more than a guitar riff for me

[dreams of glass]

explain to us what Rock music is

[Elphenor]

Feminism is probably the most important part.

Makes or breaks a band for me

[dreams of glass]

sweet

so, not about guitar riffs

we need some challenging political lyrics

and, make sure it's not too manly (ew)

[Elphenor]

I saw Soundgarden live and they were okay



On the same bill as NIN which is what I went to see
