TBF I was on the street a couple summers ago and a guy rolls by in a car bumping QOTSA and I thought "Who's the cool guy bumping some Queens?" and I looked over and it was a dad.
There are cool dads out there. My friend's step-dad has his little study with a decent sound setup and he listens to stuff like Fire-Toolz with my friend and stuff.

In 11 years, Skibidi Toilet will be dad rock. Feel old yet?
I'm gonna queue up $7 worth of Hoobastank on the jukebox.

“You see kids, this was the real music, unlike what you listen too. Music used to mean something.”

And here I was thinking it was just stuff between Bowie and Foo Fighters that was dad rock, I wasn't aware it had swallowed NuMetal and Slipknot as well
Just checked, the first Foo Fighters record and the first Slipknot studio albums are only 4 years apart (1995 and 1999). David Bowie started putting out records in 1967, and published his 19th album the year the Foo Fighters debut came out. Bowie already was dad rock when Dave Grohl was still playing for Nirvana and recorded a Bowie cover with them.
Not posting this to rib on you, i just find it interesting how there's this sliding cutoff for when things become dad rock and how much it changes how bands are perceived.
Oh yeah I know Bowie is far from Foo Fighters and Slipknot is pretty close to them, but it feels like the "dad rock" label is pure vibes, and I was just surprised to see it had claimed 90's metal too now
I just look forward to the once in a lifetime bonding experience I can have teaching my kids all of the Korn noises
What? No, "dad Rock" refers to awful pop-rock bands from the 70s and 80s like AC DC and KISS. It doesn't have anything to do with the music I grew up with
As for me…Can it truly be joever if it was never happening to begin with?
