This is super intriguing, haha! Is this a real genre?

So awesome to have ya on the Forem team. 🙌

Maybe not a term lots of people use, but you would know it if you heard it, and if the term evokes to you a very specific type of music... you're probably right and I probably love it.

My mind goes to Rod Stewart.

Happy Dad music = Steely Dan.

I want to hear other interpretations 👀

Ooh, good question. I guess I don't think of it as music dads listen to (as I'm not a dad!), but more sad music made by guys who are probably dads. Prime candidate: The National. I listen to a lot of The National.

One of the best TV shows of the last 5 years -- super specific in its details and yet somehow also incredibly relatable in spirit, even if not in exact circumstance. And so pithy -- I quote it at least once a week!
