I didn't coin the term and I forget who did, but "meta rock" songs are almost universally awful: rock songs about how much rock rocks.


Isn't that Tenacious D's whole premise?


Mostly. But they're also doing it as a gag, so you're expected to understand the joke is two ostensible "losers" claiming rock greatness (and doing it with a capable example of the stereotypical bombast you'd expect from the music being parodied/paid homage).
