This article highlights a few songs that this author considers his favorite "cock rock", and chick rock songs. "Cock rock" is a term used to describe rock and roll where the men in the band are extremely sexual, and show themselves off. The music sings about women mainly, and is very oppressive. "Cock rock" was prevalent in the 80's with metal hair bands, but is still in existence today. The author picks some songs that are very degrading to women, and the fact there is a term called "cock rock" is a disgrace to the genre, and puts a bad image on rock and roll in general. Men oversexualize themselves in "cock rock", and somehow these bands have been some of the most popular rock and roll bands of all time. Also, the author's vocabulary and tone in his article is ridiculous, and shows a lot about his lack of character.

This reminded me about how Elvis used to be considered very sexual in his performances, although I am not sure if a lot of his songs were sexist or not. I find it funny that this kind of thing is still happening, with oversexualization and stuff. I really don't appreciate all of the sexist stuff going around in this genre, and I think it should stop.
