Also I saw that the term butt rock comes from an old Hard Rock station announcement that said "Nothing but Rock", but people turned it into "Nothing butt rock". As if the term itself wasn't already stupid enough.
I'm pretty sure it's because people say "this 'insert random thing' is ass", buttrock is something that sucks ass.
Nickelback, Seether, Theory of a Deadman, 3 Doors Down, Breaking Benjamin, Staind, Puddle of Mudd, Three Days Grace, Five Finger Death Punch, Creed, Hinder, Daughtry, Default, Shinedown, Stone Sour, Anberlin, Chevelle, 30 Seconds to Mars, etc. Those are all considered butt rock according to the internet.
Pretty accurate for how I think of the term, other than Anberlin. I suspect they’re on there because people have only heard Feel Good Drag.
The bold are all good bands though. But yeah, I would say anything that is really played on the radio get that title. That is why Underoath and Thrice now get that sometimes.
Thrice radio update number 4 Spotify just played the Send Me an Angel track from punk goes pop. Not great. But I kinda liked it
But...Seether is undeniably better and more talanted than 3DG. If you are going to say one is bad and one isn't.
I said I like 3DG, or at least some of their output. I don't really give half a shit about talent or whatever, I care if they write songs I like. I'm also not going to act like 3DG is a great band or anything, I'm fully aware most people here dislike them and that's totally fine
3 days grace has more songs i like than seether. i think its like 3 vs 1 though lol not saying much. breaking benjamin probably better than both /shrug
I’ve never been a fan of the genre but I have to admit Creed has some legitimately good songs, at least instrumentally
