Mall Rock
A sleek subgenre of pop rock prevalent between 1996 and 2001 which incorporates elements of '90s alternative rock as well as a distinctive corporate lyrical influence. Major mall rock acts include Smash Mouth, Barenaked Ladies, Fastball, Third Eye Blind, and "Green Album"-era Weezer. Some of the work of acts from the same era (Ben Folds Five, Cake, Eels) falls under the mall rock genre banner as well. The genre was greatly influenced by the soft and yacht rock scenes of the 1970s, intellectual '80s new wave, and '90s U2. The scene rose after the decline of grunge in the mid-'90s. Many recording companies wanted to distance themselves with the self-destructive nature of the underground rock scene and favored more corporate-sounding groups. As a means to gain an even larger demographic of listeners, slicker production methods were used - such as the increased inclusion of synthesizers. Much of the music that rose to prominence during this time featured heavy consumeristic themes, and, while some acts used said themes ironically, most others rather promoted them. The music was meant to sound optimistic and hopeful, making it very successful for a good five-year period. Major hits of the era include "All Star" by Smash Mouth, "Islands in the Sun" by Weezer, "You Get What You Give" by New Radicals, "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies, "The Way" by Fastball, and "The Distance" by Cake. The style evaporated after 9/11. No major revivals of the sound have occurred since then.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
I took time designing it but wasn't sure, online tools being what they are, that what I was seeing was for sure what I'd get. Very much appreciated the customer service communication which verified that what I'd designed was what I wanted, and the shipping was quick too.
Item came on time as promised
Came within a week and it's exactly what I ordered, my friend will love it!

I can pass away peacefully. This mug is everything I’ve ever needed and more. Fat thank you, Urban Dictionary. <3
I was really excited to receive this mug and when it did come it was perfect quality. My only complaint is that the color I choose was green teal but it came in yellow.
As always, easy to order and not-too-long of a wait for the finished product to arrive. It’s well-printed, and very sturdy. A great gag present for wedding party members.
The mug , color and saying are perfect! PMEO is what I say at work everyday. It has become a favorite saying for my coworkers when things go haywire!
