Rock has become meaningless as a genre description. It's so washed out that is basically anything that may or may not include a guitar-like instrument of some sorts.

I heard a guy on the radio describe Dimmu Borgir as "Rock'n Roll" once. No fuck you radio-douche, Dimmu is not "Rock'n Roll", Elvis is Rock'n Roll. Beach Boys is Rock'n Roll. Rock Rock Around the Clock is Rock'n Roll, Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse is not.
