So basically Dad rock is the phenomena of continuing to listen to the acts that you grew up with... while you become a dad, and they continue to make music
Basically. I grew up in the late 2000s eaely 2010s. I grew up listening to Vampire Weekend. Their youthful college kids look was a big talking point then. Now, since 2019's Father of the Bride, they feel like dad rock to me.
So... I listen to Dad Rock? I once tried to get along with my dad by asking whether he is (or was) also a fan of Pink Floyd, Sonic Youth, The Smiths etc. and he looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Who?" Am I the dad here?
I definitely learned about rock from my dad, he reared me on a steady diet of Metallica, Black Sabbath, and Jethro Tull, and as everyone has to go a little more extreme than there parents, he allowed me to blast Manson and A7F through the speakers of the family mini van when I hit puberty. The man understood. He knew I wasn't rebelling, but just trying to find the music that was mine, and he enjoyed quite a bit of it. He's always kept up with rock, while returning to favorites, so nothing ever shocked him or offended his sensibilities. To this day, we can turn turn the radio on to the same stations and both be happy.
You guys do realize dad rock is just a vague term used to define older bands and not a real genre right? Eric Calpton was dad rock in the 90s and now Nirvana is dad rock.
Shammo Hamid nirvana will never be dad rock , maybe their pop hits and unplugged , but not their other songs . Dads can't stand Kurt Cobain screaming in their ear while they're grilling outside lol
This explains why I wasn't popular back in highschool. Once I found my dad's music my mind was blown aways (all those bands hahahaha yes, pink floyd, emerson lake and palmer, deep purple, led zeppelin, etc etc.) Now, guess what I like today! Tame Impala, Pond, War On Drugs, Mac Demarco, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, The Murlocs, La Luz, Kikagaku Moyo, Wolfmother, etc. and I'm 29!! It all adds up! hahahaha
Krombopulos Michael I’m with you on that. This is petty but I’d like to throw out that Kurt Cobain being kicked aside was kind of silly since he was a dad too.
My dad got me on older rock and stuff. But I also love new music just like any other teen. I'm not a dad. But with everything that I do, I wouldn't be surprised if I was.
Dad rock?? I fell in love with Steely Dan at age 7, when I heard Pretzel Logic for the first time, while sitting in my high school babysitter's bedroom watching she and her boyfriend do bong hits.
Fucked up but true. I had a massive crush on that babysitter. She actually taught me how to de-seed weed using a double album sleeve. Thank God I didn't become an adult stoner. :-)
WHY do you people think dad rock is a negative term when the whole video is trying to say it comes with: -maturing -a deeper appreciation of music -a timeless aesthetic that is embraced by young and old people alike I don't get you youtube comment section :/!!!
@@fowlae4414 rock is better than rap so yes. Also the dads that listen to rap are probably listen to actual rap and not that mumble bs that you listen to.
It irritates me to see the media still trying to manipulate what people listen to. They still haven't reconciled with the fact that radio is dead. They can't completely control what people listen to anymore but their still trying to dictate whats "en vogue" and what's not.. People are not to be herded like sheep. People listen to what they want. Music is not just made for teenagers, radio is dead and listen to what you want not based on your age, but your ears.
I'm with you. If people were to guess what music I personally listen to based on my age (I'm in my 60's), they would nearly always be wrong. I listen to a dizzying array of stuff that's not only current (the more non-commercial, generally experimental stuff), but also old Cajun dance music, western swing, late-40's bebop jazz, post-bop, and other vintage music that predated my birth by decades or even centuries. Funny how my teenage daughter listens to more of what people would call "dad rock" than even I do (but still doesn't comprise most of what she listens to), and I didn't influence her to! In the '80s, a good friend simply told me that I have "left field" tastes (which, oddly enough, seems to be an actual genre nowadays).
The saxophone thing in the '80's was a revival of the saxophone thing from the late '50's/early 60's which came from the late '40's/early '50's paternal line of rock: r'n'b (the maternal line being country/bluegrass/rockabilly). The honkers and barwalkers were the fathers of rock and roll. Rudy Pompilli, Boots Randolph, King Curtis, Clifford Scott, Red Prysock, Sil Austin, Willis Jackson, Earl Bostic, Big Jay McNeely, etc. The list goes on through Maceo Parker, Bobby Keys, Dick Parry, Clarence Clemmons and on to whoever will come to fill their shoes tomorrow.
Mm nah, I think that the new dad rock would be Oasis, Green Day, Pretenders, Blink-182, maybe Blur too, but Radiohead is way far to be dad rock, RHCP and Beck too.
Beck is trying very hard to stay "in" with the young crowd. Just look at his last two albums. I guess it helps that he looks 20 years younger than he is, not unlike Paul Rudd.
I feel like when most people say "Dad Rock", they mean 70s 80s classic rock like Journey and Steely Dan, or hair metal bands. Alternative rock could get lumped in with it too since 90s teens are around 40 now, but because that sound stayed popular into the 2000s, it doesn't pass as "dad rock" nearly as much to me
I got into The Eagles from my dad always playing them, Steely Dan from his recommendation, and the Dead from a friend whose step dad always played it. music is an awesome human legacy...
my dad listens to all of the 70s/80s/90s music mentioned here. makes sense though bc that's when he was a youth and you tend to stick to music you listened to in your youth
0:23 You can tell a kid drew this when they were asked to draw someone in their forties and they thought, “You mean like a retired grandpa?” And shouldn’t you feel ashamed if you put someone down for having a 20 year career, talking about it like it’s a bad thing? Although, I must agree that writing teenage love songs in middle age can be cringe if you really believe it. I mean, like Meatloaf, I suppose was up front about it being theatrical fiction at least.
I had to give my dad a lift and had the top down in the Mustang cranking some classics to which my dad says "Jesus, this stuff is older than me". Well... who's the dad now? Lmao
30s is too young to be stereotypical "dads". Granted a 36 year old born in 1983 could be the father of a 19 year old (born in 2000) if they got a girl pregnant in high school, but it still seems too young to call them a stereotypical dad. Save it for guys at least 45!
Pretty bold of Pitchfork of all places to call acts like Wilco and Neutral Milk Hotel dad rock. Since those are the kinds of artists I primarily associate with Pitchfork
Chuck Klosterman wrote a great essay on how someone is considered ancient in music at 30, but Hemingway told writers to never START until they're 30. Of course, that would mean "The Red Badge of Courage" never existed, but all in all... the cultural ethos backs this notion up. Although I do think it's manufactered and ridiculous. Both of them are. If you make awesome music at 40 or can write awesome literature in your 20s, then who's not going to enjoy great art -- no matter the age of the creator? LCD Soundsystem anyone? Maybe I'm losing my edge...
most of you who like this categorical music critique shit and are male, are gonna be dads eventually, or balding old men at least, and Major Lazer and Kaytranada will be the dad rock. enjoy
Nirvana sounded like Dad-Rock to me in Fall of 1991, a preppy rich kid who wanted to be part of our stoner punk group introduced it to us like it was the newest thing. I didn't watch MTV (family couldn't afford cable) or listen to top 40 commercial radio or read spin and nme. DGC couldn't PUSH it's product on me. the Industry couldn't tell me how great it was, so I heard Nirvana with out biased ears and pre-judgement and honestly I thought it it was too grungy ( like the word we were all being forcefed) and stoner rockish and was trying too-hard to be punk and indy (although indy wasn't a genre at that time) they had an overly produced and polished sound without the tightness of punk I listened to; I knew right away Nirvana wasn't for me. I preferred the fresh sounds of Fugazi, Jawbreaker, Operation Ivy, Big Black-Rapeman, Pixies, Superchunk, Archers of Loaf and then I heard Treepeople and realized if any band deserved the Pampered DGC Media Blitz it was Treepeople: Doug's next band Built to Spill proved that. So Nirvana to me is the epitome of old man dad rock now, just as it was then.
I love all this music. I don't get why people are getting so mad! It's just a cute video to celebrate Father's Day. For a few years now I have celebrated Father's Day by listening to dad rock with my dad. It's a great way for us to continue bonding as we get older. Anyway, what was the song at the end? Was it just a track made to sound like Steely Dan? Because if so it worked so well.
My dad doesn't listen to music but whenever I go to visit my best friend's father, he always jams Dylan, Springsteen and The National down our throats. I love those artists but his enthusiasm spoils the mood completely. Dad rock IMO is a silly notion but I can totally relate to your comment.
Get your kids hooked on vinyl, they won't have money for drugs
#TooTrue
I spend well on both, but I’m also starving of course
drugs can be pretty cheap if you got the right sources
My homeboy Edwardo hooks me up with the smack for free.
Get your kids hooked on drugs, they won't have money for vinyl.
Drugs are probably a wiser thing to spend your money on.
So basically Dad rock is the phenomena of continuing to listen to the acts that you grew up with... while you become a dad, and they continue to make music
Pitchfork has to be ultra hipster tools to keep their 'youthful' brand alive

my dad loves nu metal too
He doesn't fuck the music or make it cum because he's sleeping on the couch tonight.
ya dad must be gay

Lol they used Alfred E Neuman from MAD to represent Mac DeMarco.
They look scaaaaarily alike so...
I think Alfred E Neuman was inspired by Mac Demarco
That first chord in Viceroy is so distinguishable
James Hack yeah, I got tingles in my heart. So was all apologies
It's not often a pop song starts with a diminished chord.
@@MyNameIsNeutron I think it's an F#m6
2:26 The MAD mascot as Mac DeMarco is pure genius.
So... I listen to Dad Rock? I once tried to get along with my dad by asking whether he is (or was) also a fan of Pink Floyd, Sonic Youth, The Smiths etc. and he looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Who?" Am I the dad here?

Sandra Salóme LMAO. I guess we're the dad's. Great bands you mentioned.
The results have come in and...you are the father
He meant he was a fan of The Who lol
Sandra Salóme Sonic Youth is the antithesis to dad rock and the smiths aren't dad rock, I'm skressed.
I definitely learned about rock from my dad, he reared me on a steady diet of Metallica, Black Sabbath, and Jethro Tull, and as everyone has to go a little more extreme than there parents, he allowed me to blast Manson and A7F through the speakers of the family mini van when I hit puberty.

Parenting done right 👍🏾
I think I just discovered that I'm literally a dad rocker.... and I'm a teenaged girl
We dad rockers welcome all kinds!

Chris Uresti but some dads do like it. My dad doesn't even know what nirvana is but he likes some foo fighters songs that play on the radio. Lmao.
@@chrisuresti3898 Pop hits? I hate it when ppl call Nirvana pop.
I'm 52 and saw Nirvana live a couple of times,in fact, you would have to be in your 40s to have seen them live
@@chrisuresti3898 My dad likes napalm death. Im pretty sure dads can handle people screaming while theyre outside grilling.
Is there a dad that doesn't love Steely Dan?
Too recent for my dad. Too old for me. Steely Dan is probably the gayest band ever.
my dad hates that shit
Choco Manger You have no music taste
I'm gonna have to ask mine about that.
I put on Aja with my dad and he hates it. lmao
So people in there 30s and 40s are weird if they still make music ? Did I misunderstand that point ?
Seems like that's the point here. Whatever. Cedric Bixler Zavala is 41 and I'll follow him to the end of the earth.
Pitchfork is just being pitchfork
Jup. Getting old and family orientated just isn't cool, man.
shonuffLA yes meaning LCD Soundsystem and Death Grips were never good ever
shonuffLA - tongue-in-cheek humour, my friend.
Classic rocks really good and I'm not old
I'm sorry that my dad listens to good music
Dad rock generally sucks, grateful dead rule though
Chernobilius The Third my dad likes mostly the same music as me
Chernobilius The Third dad rock isn’t a genre..
This explains why I wasn't popular back in highschool. Once I found my dad's music my mind was blown aways (all those bands hahahaha yes, pink floyd, emerson lake and palmer, deep purple, led zeppelin, etc etc.) Now, guess what I like today! Tame Impala, Pond, War On Drugs, Mac Demarco, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, The Murlocs, La Luz, Kikagaku Moyo, Wolfmother, etc. and I'm 29!! It all adds up! hahahaha
its 6 years later, who do you like now?
This is equally the most smug and moronic thing Pitchfork have ever done
I know, right?
I disagree. As someone who enjoys dad rock, I think this was a very gentle ribbing and overall a defence of the genre.
It's Pitchfork...
Krombopulos Michael I’m with you on that. This is petty but I’d like to throw out that Kurt Cobain being kicked aside was kind of silly since he was a dad too.
Or it's comedic?
A video on dad rock with no mention of Dave Matthews?
Chase Urias ikr, my thoughts exactly!!
My dad's a pixies and Pearl Jam guy
I'm terrified that one day all my favorite bands and their music is gonna be considered dad rock.
Radiohead and The National are already consider "sad dad rock".
My dad got me on older rock and stuff.
But I also love new music just like any other teen.
I'm not a dad. But with everything that I do, I wouldn't be surprised if I was.
Dad Rock is... the maturity which middle-age brings allowing you to finally stop caring if you're cool or not.
pandering to /mu/ won't raise your site views
huh
I was thinking something similar myself
Wow, that's not imaginative at all.
implying moo isn't literally pitchfork forums
>implying p4k writers don't browse mu every day
My Dad loves Tool, Minor Threat, and Rammstein
theres nothing wrong with dad rock!!
Correct. There are some amazing "dad rock" bands out there. Chicago, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Rush, Yes.
Mac demarco is my love
My darling, my baby, my sweetie pie baby awww
my kinda woman
best dadcore musician for sure
Mac as Alfred E. Neumann. Yep!
correction, its JIZZ JAZZ

my dad hates mac demarco lol
My dad was technically a coke head
Mine too, I play him every single day.
Your Dad has taste
however there is no doubt that mac demarco takes a lot of inspiration from dad rock, he even covers a few dad rock songs
tell your dad i don't like him
Now do one on "Butt-Rock" please.
Nick Finlayson
I know of Butt Metal with bands like Steel Panther, but Butt Rock?
Butt Rock is a term used to describe Nickelback and any band that kinda sounds like Nickelback. Hope this was informative.
Black Sabbath invented it
Black Sabbath "invented" Metal, not Butt Rock. I suppose saying they invented it, indirectly is technically true, but functionally useless.
So, anything played by competent musicians over 30 then?
competent musicians dont play rock
Robert Fripp?
I actually said that as a joke. But yeah, KC are one of my favorite groups ever.

+TheOfficialAkatsuki You like KC and the Sunshine Band? And you hate rock? Fuck you!
Gotta love the Mac-gap-cam-zoom. A classic shot, no doubt about it.
I didn't think I'd ever hear Peg and Ode to Viceroy in the same video.
Shot hella games of pool with steely Dan on the juke, shooting dust makes it all better😉
Angel dust ?
WHY do you people think dad rock is a negative term when the whole video is trying to say it comes with:
-maturing
-a deeper appreciation of music
-a timeless aesthetic that is embraced by young and old people alike
I don't get you youtube comment section :/!!!
You and me both.
Because dads are lame (apparently).
I don't see the lesson, here? Excuse me my english is poor. Is there a problem with daddy's? Daddy want to rock? Huh? ok....
Radiohead is dad rock now.
delete your account
absolutely they are.
My dad rocks!
always was
Calling something dad rock doesn't mean it's bad. It's just old. Maybe out of fashion is a better way to put it.
mac demarco has a youth fanbase
Right here I'm 16
In other words, Dad Rock is just another term for the best music ever.
yes, except for nirvana, Nirvana is just Soundgarden and Pearljam but worse
Naw. You’re forgetting rap. And rap that dads listen to is overrated.

That’s the exact reason I’m watching this. It keeps popping up.
Literally the only thing that would make Pink Floyd “Dad rock” is the era it comes from.
And the fact that Dark Side and The Wall have been on constant classic rock radio rotation for years.
