Merde. Now I have to retitle my workout playlist... Buttrock Jamz here I come.
Bootay:
LOL I like GnR and old Aerosmith. I even like the first 3 Motley Crue albums. And for the record I generally don't call any bands "buttrock" but I have heard them referred to as that. I just call it glam rock...cuz it sure ain't metal to me. heh

EXACTLY! Urban Dictionary is worthless. Somebody hears somebody else use a term and they sort of get it, so they go home and type a incorrect definiton.
The term buttrock, as far as "going mainstream" goes, originated from a episode of x-play... around 2004-2005ish? I watched the episode and got the definition from them. Even then we've used the term for ages around here and it has always been a generic term for poorly played rock, typically metal. Cockrock does NOT equate to ButtRock as a matter of fact cockrock is the glam/hair rock equivelent of buttrock.
You've all heard buttrock... you know when a local band can't play or sing worth a crap so they crank it up to 11, turn the distortion to the max, and then proceed to play as quickly as possible with the lead screeching unintelligable lyrics in the hopes that you won't notice that they can't actually play the guitar or sing? That's butt rock.
As I said before it's impossible for glam metal or hair metal songs to be butt rock because that is some weak crap...buttrock is at least metal. If the lead is carrying a tune, you can understand the lyrics and actual notes are coming out of the instruments it's too good to be considered buttrock.
Bootay:
HC: Maybe where you're from. Where I'm from people call Glam "Cock Rock" or "Butt Rock" and they've been calling it that way before X-Play was around. First time I heard it was about 2000 or 2001. I don't call it either terms though because I don't believe in insulting other people's musical tastes. I do not like anything considered Glam aside from a few bands but..whatever.
As for your definition of Butt Rock would it just be any band with Cookie Monster vocals or does the music have to sound like trash too? There are some bands that sound real good if they get a new singer. Would that still be butt rock?

His definition would exist there, but it would just have a bunch of thumbs down votes because that's not what butt rock is.
And p.s., I'd be interested in a source for the term originating on an episode of X-play. Even if you heard the term like 8 years ago while watching an episode of X-play you presumably have more to go on than that to conclude that this was the first time the term had ever been used.
