The threads above are the first I'm hearing of "soft rock," in a sea of descriptors that seem to be about figuring out new ways to make rock sub-genres seem more impressive or threatening or manly or spooky. It's making me wonder if it's a legitimate descriptor or a reclaimed epithet, like "shoegazing."

In any case, I'm hoping you find more of what you like, anon.

Soft rock is a very well-known genre. Almost old-fashioned.

Also a really common radio format I think?

It’s just old enough I think. From an era back when rock was popular rather than edgy.

Maybe it’s just an American sub genre? It’s been around at least since the 70s. Officially it is called Adult Contemporary but radio stations still use soft rock more often and it’s the more common name when talking about it, even in the industry. The AC title just tends to be for charts and category titles on some selling/streaming platforms.

Soft rock is a genre and has been for decades. And it's totally appropriate, as are other rock subgenres - Toto are different to ACDC are different to Metallica, etc etc.
