Rock at its lowest, least intellectual form. Also known as hair metal, crotch rock can be recognized by many distinctive traits, such as high-pitched nasal vocals, stupid lyrics, simple or nonexistent song structure, extremely basic drumming, or tasteless guitar wankery. Named as such because crotch rock guitarists usually wear their guitars slung extremely low, often down to their crotch or past it, to the point where it actually interferes with their ability to play their instrument properly. Crotch rock rose to prominence in the 1980's, and is exemplified by bands such as Motley Crue and Poison. It is notable in that most songs of the genre are completely indistinguishable from one another, and lack any sort of memorability or catchiness whatsoever.
