Defining 'yacht rock' once and for all with the genre's creators
Jd ryznar and dave lyons coined the joke genre while making the mid-2000s comedic web-series of the same name.
Social Sharing
JD Ryznar and Dave Lyons are the co-creators of the mid-2000s comedic web-series Yacht Rock.
While the joke genre they coined led to a legitimate smooth-music renaissance in pop culture, it has also led to a distorted definition of what yacht rock is all about.
The pair join host Elamin Abdelmahmoud to talk about setting the record straight with this week's launch of their podcast Yacht or Nyacht , where they'll adjudicate which songs belong to the yacht rock canon using a scientific scoring system.
WATCH | Yacht Rock Episode 1 :
You can listen to the full discussion from today's show on CBC Listen or on our podcast, Commotion with Elamin Abdelmahmoud, available wherever you get your podcasts .
Interview with JD Ryznar and Dave Lyons produced by Stuart Berman.
