gen jam

Generic jam band music; typically garden variety rock bands that cater to the hippie crowd, generally adhering to a long format, jam session style of music. Merging modern rock, jazz, funk, afrobeat, and many other genres, gen jam is a diluted style of music and many bands often sound similar - it may be difficult for a "square" listener to differentiate between bands. Examples would include: Phish, moe., Umphrey's McGee, O.A.R., Dave Matthews Band, The String Cheese Incident, and Widespread Panic.
