Cock rock is a term, typically used derogatively, to describe a style of rock music that became popular in the late-1970s, remained popular throughout the 1980s, and declined in the early-1990s. The term is sometimes interchangeable with hair metal or glam metal. More specifically, cock rock is the subset of glam metal that deals with lyrics that often describe sexual encounters, and make frequent use of double entendres. Some consider cock rock chauvinistic.
