rareair Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Exactly. You know, I've noticed a common trait amongst those who throw that insult around - they tend to be douchebags. I'm 43. I've been playing and listening to music obsessively since I was a kid. I've seen more shows of more genres than most, and I've been a Wilco fan (and U.T. before that) since my mid-twenties. At 39 I became a father and now it's "dad rock"? Sorry, but Fuck Directly Off. i think the common trait is humor.  i am 40, love wilco and am a dad.  it fits perfect.  embrace it.  or fuck off directly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Perhaps some are getting too old to do all this fucking. I am 40 - two young kids - don't care either way. Tweedy does seem to worry too much about these things, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

twoshedsjackson Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 i think the common trait is humor. i am 40, love wilco and am a dad. it fits perfect. embrace it. or fuck off directly.It may be used with humor around here, and that's fine with me. I should have made it clear that I meant when it's used dismissively by non-fans. I know it's silly and pointless to bother arguing about it, but for some reason when I hear that phrase I get a mental image of some guy in khaki pants, dockers and a pastel polo shirt grooving to Jimmy Buffet. But that's my El Guapo, I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 What exactly are the requirements to be classified as a Dad Rock band? Â If the musicians are Dads? Â If the fans are Dads? Â I had no idea Dad Rock was such a complex term.. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Nobody really knows what Dad Rock is, lamrod. It's just a mysterious phrase that seems to spark inane discussions. I DO know that Kid Rock gets little respect around here, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So be it. Given the demographic here, I didn't think my stance would be so controversial, but there it is.  * I have no idea what a "captain needa" is.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's tearing me apart! By the way, could you have found a more obscure Star Wars reference? I actually had to google that, and I'm no slouch when it comes to Star Wars (he said before skulking away in shame). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 It's a most excellent Star Wars reference at that. Empire, actually. The force is strong with this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I got in a brief yet tedious talk with my gal last night about how/why when I said the only Star Wars movie I've ever seen was the original one at the theatre in '77 or whenever it came out. I referred to it as "the first one" to which she kept telling me it actually isn't. Freaks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
