Can anyone give any examples of Frat Rock?!


Question: I just heard about this genre of Rock recently but the only bands and songs I can find is The Kingsmen's "Louie, Louie" and The Isley Brothers "Shout".
Any Others?

These days, Fratboy Rock is what we always called "Bi*ch-Rock," since the bands are all a bunch of sissies. Stuff like Nickelback, Third Eye Blind, Dave Matthews, Hinder, Three Days Grace, etc.

(EDIT)
Unfortunately, yes. The glory days of The Kingsmen, Otis Day, etc. are unfortunately behind us... at least as far as college kids go. Which is an odd statement, I suppose, coming from someone who's 28 years young... not that far out of college.
Viva La Animal House...

Oh, and I forgot the crap like Kid Rock, Uncle Kracker, etc. Horrendous...

Amazing what you could pull up on Wikipedia.

I would go so far to say that there are modern additions that could fit into this like AC/DC.

Frat Rock? What the hell? I swear, there are seriously more subgenre's than there are bands.



Louie, Louie and Shout are great songs though. I just wanted to point that out lol...

Let's see, what would a "Frat Boy" likely listen to these days?

Probably whatever happens to be popular at the moment.

I would guess some combination of emo/top 40/gangsta rap. Just thinking out loud here. Help me out if there is one band that embodies this description, because I'm drawing a blank.

I don't really know about frat rock...but I know of college rock....one band I know is CAKE
