That's true, but it's still Ed's first solid foray into "dad rock schmaltz", and it will forever hold that distinction in my mind.

Not sure you understand what dad rock is. Try unemployable for an actual example.
Status quo rocking all over the world horror
What? I don't understand this one iota. How is Unemployable "dad rock"? It sounds like an Urge Overkill song.
Seriously, unemplyable is definetely not dad rock.

It's dad rock. A band given up settling into playing for an affluent crowd who still think mullets are cool. Embarrassing altogether. ST in its entirety.

I'm still angryyyy aw huh yeah

You mean there's an actual definition? It's not just another trendy internet buzzword that just means whatever the person using it at the time thinks it means?

The definition of dad rock will keep changing as the demographic keeps aging. Dad rock used to mean Steely Dan. Now it's Wilco.
