As anyone who's read their fair share of rock criticism knows, there are specific words that get used on a suspiciously regular basis to describe music , many of which don't get much use outside of the world of rock criticism. After years of noticing, and about two weeks of compiling these words from various reviews and from memory, I present this alphabetical list to you, the aspiring rock critic, free of charge. Feel free to add any missing adjectives to this list as it’s being made.
