I mean, people call Steely Dan "soft rock," but come on...it's great music, but not "rock."

Yeah, "rock" is applied to everything these days, but then again, I feel like at least 90% of any thriving genres these days derive from rock and roll.
The thing is, after 50 years nobody can really define what exactly "rock" is.
