Hormone rock "Rock with the cock taken out and it's what a lot of women want to listen to right now"
I always thought that stuff was called "vagina rock". Calling it "Hormone rock" doesn't make much sense, given that both men and women have hormones.

Googling for "hormone rock" yields only 979 results, many of which are about the jpop song "Maximum The Hormone" by "Rock Bankuruwase". Other then that the highest search result is... the very same article (with a slightly different URL)
Googling for "vagina rock" gets you some more specific results, including this urban dictionary entry.
I think this just an effort by some timesonline author to start a new meme.
Yeah, but I don't think you can say that on the radio, delmoi.
Well, I bet you could get away with it, although it does sound rather impolite. Still, as both men and women have hormones the term hormone rock is, IMO, quite stupid.

If you can say Butt Rock, why can't you say Vagina Rock? It's a more scientific term than butt.
I like the first part, though: "Rock with the cock taken out." Is that somehow different from Rock Out with your Cock Out?

I've never seen so many stereotypes strung together into one article. Ugh.
"Women who play rock’n’roll are often sexy and aggressive, but, ultimately, are not representative of their sex in general."

Rock’n’roll is the musical embodiment of maleness. It’s one of the reasons women get penis envy
"Moms, don't let your girls grow up listening to rock n' roll! They'll want penises!"
Yup. That's it exactly. Is that why I always get the urge to "adjust" myself when listening to the radio? I thought maybe my undies were just too tight.

But you can be as rude as you like about them and their wholemeal tales of everyday feminine angst, because these ladies ain’t going away.
I always feel a bit sorry for these feature writers who have spent hours looking for a tenuous musical trend, cobbled some article together at 4am, bleary-eyed, and then two days later they see what they wrote in print, and just have a little internal weep.

Feh. I thought we went through this already, ten years ago. And again five years ago. Probably 15 years before too.
The article is likely pointing to the market segment of 30-something plus women. My female cohorts tend to openly mock this sort of 90's-esque empowerment-reclaiming-ourselves-our-bodies feminism-driven identity (at least the language of it).
There. I did it -- the requisite fashionable-ness -based poo-pooing of an article claiming something to be the Next Big Thing.

I often wonder whether Dido chose that as a name because of it's similarity to Dildo. A subliminal marketing device for the hormone rock audience?
If there were a hormone-rock pyramid, then Beth Orton and Martha Wainwright would be at the top: clever, uncompromising, subversive poets who are essentially punk in ways that Vicious and Rotten were never clever enough to articulate.
See, this is precisely why there are so few great women rockers. Because so very many of them just don't get the point. And consequently they suck.
Better off sticking to blues, R&B, folk and other genres in which they do do well.

But the quote proves my point. Nobody would look to Sid Vicious if they wanted intelligent punk. But Lydon pretty well defined a whole genre, and his subsequent career shows him to have been one of the most intelligent thinkers from that era.
What male rock and roll journalist would ever make such a fundamental mistake?

Norah Jones described her music as "soft-cock rock" in a Rolling Stone piece about two months before her album became a megahit. I think that might be the word people are looking for.
That said, I heard nothing at all remniscent of yellow rubber gloves in either the EP or Happenstance versions of "Worn Me Down." Or, for that matter, the Live at the World Cafe version. The author might like writing about this genre of music, but doesn't get it.

Do you really often wonder this, but are just too inhibited to check it out? Or did you just want to write the word dildo for the snicker factor? Because it wouldn't take much wattage to find out that Dido was the name that the Phoenician princess Elishat was commonly known as after she led the founding of the walled city of Carthage. It's in the Aeneid.
If genre "y" can be called "cock rock" why then cannot genre "x" be called "clit rock"?
The article sucks.out.loud. Patti Smith is to Courtney Love as Bob Dylan is to John Mellencamp. Does the writer equate Smith to Love because Smith is uncompromising and difficult to categorize, or is the writer only relying on 30 year old apocrypha? OK, I'll let it go now, but I agree with the other posters who feel that the "buy-in" that the writer advocates has to happen at a more organic, visceral level than some wished-for solidarity that just doens't carry water, so to speak.

The only "rock" that matters to record companies is one with a dollar sign attached to it.
Hormones, cocks, vaginas or whatever are irrelevant. Everybody has got their own preferences.
If the sistas are selling those CD's, more power to them. You go girls. The ladies are making some damn fine music. Now excuse me while I go do some downloading...
ps. A lot of women are looking for a "sensitive new age man." Sounds like Chris Martin has realized this. Hop on the bandwagon, boys, if you're smart :>

Eh. What I think the women this guy talks about - and some men as well - are really into is rock and roll that ISN'T all about tattoos and bitches and hos and aggression, aggression, aggression.
Aggression's always been a part of it, but the Stones circa '69/Sympathy for the Devil would be laughed as as "wimpy" today: Too much thinking, not enough power chords. I hate that shit.

Let’s be honest: rock’n’roll is like the fire brigade, still a male preserve. What women have instead is hormone rock — one clever girl, an acoustic guitar and not too much banging and crashing.
Excuse me, but Shirley Manson, Karen O, Chrissie Hynde, Blondie, Sleater-Kinney, Amanda Palmer, Brodie Armstrong, Gwen Stefani, Cibo Matto, Meg White, Siouxsie Sioux, and Kim Deal want a word.

Rock’n’roll is the musical embodiment of maleness. It’s one of the reasons women get penis envy — it looks a lot of fun. It’s about vanity, anger and nihilism (unless you’re Bono); it’s ugly things like a gas-guzzling car, a pub fight, a one-track mind
Oh give me a fucking break.
Rock and Roll is not "the embodiment of maleness." Rock and Roll is wild, abandoned, music that makes you move. 50 percent of the time it is about love or lust or some combination of the two. The term "Rock and Roll" does not mean it has to be screeching and tuneless. It can actually have a melody. It can be song by a woman.
Here's what I like: a craggy voice. A hook. A beat that makes you crazy. And some lyrics that get bonus points if they are interesting and not necessarily about love.

Wow - the tone here went undeniably negative unbelievably quickly.
Any critic out to craft a meme has to take a snapshot of her surroundings, wrap it up in plausible explanation, then throw it into the interwebtron (and those other medias) for digestion. It's always a snapshot, always a trend-spot. Chances are good any fan she holds up is equally into several other genres dependent largely on mood.
That said, I don't think the author is too far off that there is a burgeoning market for female singer-songwriters with best-friend sensibilities.
Her conclusions and admonitions (read: "support") for the "why" are laughable, but that doesn't make her observations untrue.
