America’s foremost source of hate, the Westboro Baptist Church, decided to picket last night’s Foo Fighters concert in Kansas City, Missouri, for unclear reasons — not that there’s any reason for them to do any of the gross stuff they do that would make any sense. The protestors had already assembled outside of the Sprint Center before the show when the Foo Fighters came riding in on the back of a pickup truck, blasting “Never Gonna Give You Up” and dancing around while holding up signs reading “You got Rick Roll’d (again)” and “Keep It Clean.”

Why is "dad Rock" in the title? It's not in the article?

OP is 12, this is dad rock to him.

 

[barik]

It's a shame I'm not really into their music, because they seem like cool guys.


Odd title though.

 

[Hoo-doo]

My dad certainly doesn't listen to the Foo Fighters.

He's more of a Creedence, Zeppelin kind of guy.

Nah, something about Rick rolling and signs reading keep it clean screams lame dad/mom/parents joke.

I think the OP is calling Foo Fighters music "Dad Rock"

[Irnbru]

The OP didn't lie tho

 

[Trojita]

Okay that is pretty funny.

[Subpar Spatula]

They thought they were trolling the protesters but they were only feeding them. What idiots. Shows how much they know about Internet and meme culture.

in fairness, Rick Rolling people in 2015 is a pretty damn dad rock thing to do.

You get it.

 

[LyleLanley]

Rick rolling counts as playing the song and holding up signs? The dad rock title is fair.

[maquiladora]

[ThisOne]

How exactly did they Rick Roll them? Just by playing the song? Kinda lame

Hey, keep it clean.

*drives off*

 

[Fudgepuppy]

The original incident.

 

[thefit]

Oh so because now the generation that grew up listening to Foo Fighters, an actually talented and storied band, are now or will soon be fathers its now "dad rock" ? Pfft OK

 

[Lonewolf_92]

I dunno, being a heavily tatted guy shaking your rainbow bikini clad crotch at the Westboro Baptists while holding a "Keep It Clean" sign doesn't seem very "dad rock" to me.

 

[Dishwalla]

I'm not a dad, was in middle school/high school/out of school roughly in the time frame that the Foo Fighters were at their height, so it's so strange to see them labelled as "dad rock". To me dad rock refers to like Van Halen or Aerosmith or something, music my dad listened to when was in his teens/twenties.

 

[Troy]

Dad rock means they're talented enough to play their instruments.

It's a dumb term to begin with.

 

[AuthenticM]

That's not rick rolling. lol, they are so out of touch. What a bunch of dad rockandrollers.

 

[thefit]

That must be what it means considering everything out right now is just house music with hand picked "stars" reading ghost written lyrics. Bring on the dad rock I guess.

lol

 

[Captin Quacker]

Come on neogaf, are we really gonna focus on the OP's completely subjective wording and not the actual story?

 

[Fusebox]

You are the dad now boy

Oh shit I am!

I can't wait till whatever they listen to becomes "dad" and they stumble to explain it as "the classics". Maybe they'll even pull they're favorite discographies....lol

 

[ldcommando]

Why does the WBC picket foo fighters concerts?

the foo fighters encourage sodomy.

They'll just sample our dad rock into new pop. The vicious cycle continues.

Well, this isn't the first time the band has responded to them in a public way. So, probably for the attention.
