Simple rock musicthat isn't about being Joe Satriani; played by people who just want to make music; frequently using crappy gear with minimal studio production; often duos and trios entailing less than the standard rock ensemble. Hated by guitarists who practice all the time but never get famous.
Jack: Man, I hate crap rock. If that were me, I'd get a real drummer and put wailing solos all over the place.
Jill: Yeah, but this way people actually enjoy listening to it.

music written & recorded by musicians simply becuase they can. They are often mocked & teased because they are 'childish' - however just enjoy music for what it is. They are not to be confused with music that is actually shit, where by shit music simple sucks.
eg: famous crap rock bands: Tenacious D, KISS, Dragon Force
eg: Famous SHIT bands: U2, wolfmother, the killers
See crap, rock, shit, music, awesome, tenacious, d

A genre of music made famous in the early 21st century by the band White Stripes, centered around making a multi-million dollar Compact Disc digital recording sound like a 5 dollar vinylrecord from the 60's. The music itself is simple in nature, and is often what most beginning musicianswrite in their early attempts at creating decent music. Brought into the mainstreamby scene kidswho thought that listening to an undergroundband was cool; Do not make the mistake in believing that these crap rock artists are all bad musicians, but just that most make it their goal to make bad music for people with no taste to eat up, while the artist makes money for music that most would consider unfit for major labelbacking.
(Jill)- "Hey Jack, have you heard the new White Stripesalbum?"
(Jack)- "Sorry Jill, I don't listen to crap rock."
