An acoustic folkish female friend handily describes some of my musical preferences as "cock rock."

I like all kinds of music- some more than others- but what is a good antonym for cock rock?
 
Cock-Rock??? Never heard of that one.

Although, if I had to guess, I'd say that it must have something to do with those 7-string-guitar-playing growly-voiced metal boys.
 
But what would you call the opposite of cock-rock?

Just curious.
 
Cock rock is a term used to describe bands that only play for sex rather than the meaning of the music.
 
Found on a website:
Cock-rock defined: Mostly about just being really angry and beating up stuff or talking about how sexy some girl is. Primarily ape stuff. Girl's that they want to do, people they can beat up and how sad it is that no one knows how good and tough they are. Examples: Metallica, Judas Priest (who I do like), Black Sabbath, Slayer, Limp Bisquit (sp?...aw, who cares.) most of 80's metal and glam rock stuff, KISS...blah blah blah

Soooo, I wasn't far off the mark with my original guess.


Obviously, cock rock had to have reached it's venith with Judas Priest ... I can't imagine another band being more about the cock.
 
The opposite? Perhaps the music my bf hates - he calls it "tampon rock". (He's referring to any alt music that is all touchy-feely.)
 
I've only heard the term used by Lesbians to describe Heavy Metal male dominated music and late '70s (Kiss, Rolling Stones, Led Zep, etc.) rock. I have only heard it used in a most derogatory fashion.

The alternative would be Lilith Fair or Ani DiFranco.

I would soooo suck Ani DiFranco's dick.
