The term Yacht Rock is made up but Beato is completely wrong. The correct term is Soft Rock and it existed when this music came out. Other terms were elevator music and easy listening. And yes, it's real. There is nothing wrong with liking soft rock, but these dudes are all incredibly butt hurt that they aren't considered classic rock or hard rock which is harder and has more edge.

There's a reason why Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd sold way more albums than Toto and Steely Dan. It was harder, more energetic, and more intense. And consequently, more popular.

There's nothing wrong with liking soft rock or appreciating their musicianship. Like anything you want to like. They still have a robust fanbase. But it really was a bunch of kind of goofy low T fags with goatees stroking themselves. Aja is a super famous, influential album so obviously a documentary about the genre is going to focus on The Dark Side of the Moon of soft rock. And as good as that album is is, yes, it does play in elevators and at the mall as background noise while people are shopping. Don't get butthurt that your thing is a substitute for background noise. That doesn't mean it's bad. Bossa nova is great too and it's also considered muzak.

Just stop being so butthurt boomers. So what if great musicians made kinda soft cheesy albums. There's nothing wrong with that. But most people don't get the same adrenaline rush as they do listening to Immigrant Song or The Wall. Chill out boomers.

One thing that's striking is how casually they used session musicians. It had to have been way less common in try-hard genres like metal. Led Zepplin probably never used them.

This guy doesn't listen to any music made after 1993 or so. Which is fine nothing wrong with that but he may as well call it the Boomer Rock Channel.
