You know, like the bands on Windup Records.

"Active Rock" sounds like some bad coinage someone on the Velvet Rope would come up with. When they aren't being misogynists.

Wow. There's "Active Rock" radio stations!

it's good enough to describe that gothy mountain dew shit the white people on mtv play.

According to foolishmortal12, both Green Day and Mudvayne are Active Rock.

The Rolling Stones are active rock.

Shit, now my lazy rock party is going to seem totally weak

― jared, Wednesday, 13 April 2005 21:11 (twenty years ago)

Active Rock and Stoner Rock share an apartment, leading to many hilarious misunderstandings.

― moley, Wednesday, 13 April 2005 21:15 (twenty years ago)

I'm confused. I hope my dermatologist can shed some light on this.

Is active rock like rock where you can move around while listening or that, you know, rocks? I want a definition here, people.

So when a band breaks up they're categorized as "inactive" right? And an active rock fan only listens to currently active bands? I think this makes sense.

I searched in vain for a picture of the xtreme sports dudes from Harold & Kumar. Just imagine that the image of them in 7-11 is posted in this spot.

Let's ~~Talk About~~ Active Rock(s!)

By that rationale, The Action = "inactive." Silly.

I love you guys. This is like watching my grandpa make jokes about the word "hip-hop."

― Eppy (Eppy), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 21:54 (twenty years ago)

Passive rock: you will be rocked by us.

Active rock: we will rock you.

― The Mad Puffin (The Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 21:57 (twenty years ago)

How do hips "hop" anyhow? Come on, really. Jeez!

― Gear! (can Jung shill it, Mu?) (Gear!), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 21:58 (twenty years ago)

xpost -- Hip-hop eh? Is that like sharply-dressed frogs or something?

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 21:59 (twenty years ago)

And what's up with rap music? what, they sing about wrapping gifts? kids'll listen to anything these days.

― Gear! (can Jung shill it, Mu?) (Gear!), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 22:01 (twenty years ago)

Active rock? More like craptive rock.

I spell active with a crap!

― Lingbertt, Wednesday, 13 April 2005 22:34 (twenty years ago)

haha good one

― Gear! (can Jung shill it, Mu?) (Gear!), Wednesday, 13 April 2005 22:38 (twenty years ago)

I think active rock is pump-up-your-workout rock for middle management guys who used to be really into Pantera.

I hope an electronic subgenre develops under the banner Hacktive Rock.

does george bush listen to active rock?

maybe he listens to pre-emptive rock.

― AaronK (AaronK), Thursday, 14 April 2005 00:54 (twenty years ago)

Active rock makes me think of the gym. One of 3 classes:

a) movement class for newborns or toddlers
b) a free-movement dance exercise for the elderly
c) retro 80's Jane Fonda workout, with contemporary soundtrack

I think Brooker won his own thread with his last comment.
