Yes, absolutely, and I don't think it's necessarily a negative thing to say about their music. The general definition of generic is "relating to a class or group of things; not specific", there is nothing that AC/DC has done (that I've ever heard at least) that other rock bands haven't been doing since the birth of hard rock, they just do it their way and it works magnitudes better than most who try to do it the same way.
AC/DC naturally fell into a formula that was wildly successful for them, they were born to play the music that they play and they know it, there was a never a reason to adventure outside of that niche, at least not within the entity that is AC/DC. But there is nothing unusual about their formula, it's one of the most simplified and unadventurous formulas in the history of rock and roll, and there's nothing wrong with that because they do it so god damn well.

yup.
music is too simple to play. guitar riffs are simple, drum beat pattern is too slow and simple. they definitely have their own style id say

I think Brian Johnson is really my main issue with the band.
At least this turned out great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ofy-BgRzLQg |

AC/DC are fun cock-rock for when you're in the mood for them. But when every song is fun cock rock with little variation I start to feel like I'm going insane. There's a reason they were popular but they ain't full of rich complexities.

That’s the opposite of generic. Anyone who voted generic doesn’t understand what they brought to the party originally Or they don’t know what generic means - formulaic does not mean generic
