A song that is about whatever genre of music it's in. Note that this doesn't include songs that just include the genre in the title, like "Jingle Bell Rock"note It doesn't help that "Jingle Bell Rock" is about as much a "rock song" as "I'm a Little Teapot" is. It also doesn't include, say, metal songs that are about elements on the left side of the periodic table, blues songs that are about depression, or rock songs that are about stones. Named partly because these are often metal songs, and partly because the pun was too good to pass up. Compare Radio Song, about the medium of radio. Can potentially overlap with Rock-Star Song. Compare This Is a Song, which is about songs that are at least partially about themselves. See also The Something Song for song titles with "[topic of song] Song." Examples |

David Allan Coe's "You Never Even Called Me By My Name" (with a demonstration of "the perfect country-and-western song" in the final verse). Ironically, "You Never Even Called Me By My Name" was actually written by Steve Goodman and John Prine (both folksingers) as a parody of country music. | |

"70's Rock Must Die" by Lard. Their normal style is a mix of industrial rock and punk, but this particular song is a spoof of '70s Hard Rock and Arena Rock. This, of course, adds deliberate irony to the lyrical content, which is all about how that type of music was garbage from a garbage decade that people at the time (the late '90s/early '00s) were inexplicably nostalgic for. | |

DJ Earworm: The intro and the chorus of "United State of Pop 2009 (Blame It on the Pop)" focus on the many different genres and music styles. The aptly-titled "United State of Pop 2010 (Don't Stop the Pop)" is about having fun at a party with the dance-pop music that dominated the year. "Beautiful Mashup", the Sean Kingston mashup, uses lyrics from "Beautiful Girls" to make the lyrics about it being a mashup itself. |

Almost everything ever done by Manowar fits this trope, with a number of recurring topics: songs about general Heavy Metal (e.g. Metal Daze, Heart of Steel), true and false Metal (e.g. Blow Your Speakers), about Manowar (e.g. All Men Play on Ten), about Manowar fans (e.g. Hail to England, Metal Warriors), about biker/rocker lifestyle (e.g. Wheels of Fire), and many combinations of the above and of the above with fantasy. | |

Wizard Rock band Harry and the Potters had an album called "Voldemort Can't Stop the Rock!" (and a song with the same name). Many other Wizard Rock bands have referenced rock (or wrock) in song titles. 'Wizard Rock Heart Throb' by the Whomping Willows, 'Wizard Rock Twist' by the Remus Lupins, 'Transparent' by the Moaning Myrtles, and 'New Wizard Anthem' by Harry and the Potters are all examples of this trope, called meta-wrock within the community. |

Sabaton includes a tribute song to metal greats in almost every album (excepting The Art of War and Carolus Rex, and The Last Stand which has four covers as bonus tracks instead). These are: "Metal Machine" (Primo Victoria) has lyrics made up almost entirely of the names of metal hits. "Metal Crüe" (Attero Dominatus) name-drops metal bands instead, while "Metal Ripper" (Coat of Arms) borrows lyrics and guitar riffs. "Metalizer" (Fist for Fight, Metalizer) is just generally about the Power Metal genre, referencing fast, pounding drums and distorted guitars. "Masters of the World" (Fist for Fight) is more about the continual worries that rock and metal are being displaced by pop, disco, and hip-hop, and basically answers, "Yeah, right!" "Men of War" is specifically about the classic heavy metal band Manowar. |

"Just Another Love Song" by Haley & Michaels, about exes lamenting that a once-special song has now become meaningless to them. In a variant, instead of just making vague references to a generic "offscreen" song, it heavily references Lonestar's "Amazed", and even features their lead singer Richie McDonald interpolating its chorus at the end. | |

Massacration, another parody of metal bands (and Heavy Meta bands in particular), lives off this trope, even when they're not talking about metal. Song examples include "Metal Is The Law", "Metal Massacre Attack", "Metal Milkshake" and "Metal Dental Destruction". Their Other Wiki entry explains it best. | |

Scorpions wrote a lot of them, for instance "Top of the Bill," "We Let It Rock...You Let It Roll," "Coming Home," "Can't Live Without You," and "Restless Nights." The most frequent theme in these songs is how much they love being on stage and playing for their fans. | |

The Who, Pete Townshend in particular, loves this trope; he often overlaps it with Rock-Star Song and extends it over entire albums. The single "Long Live Rock" is probably the best example. Addressing a more-specific subject over a much-longer format (double-LP in this instance), Quadrophenia. Combining memories of the band's early days, a history of the Mods & Rockers rivalry, critiques of fashion and conformity: all wrapped up in the first-person story of a British youth whose head is crowded with these issues and more, including a difficult life at home and possible mental illness. Complete with four leitmotifs, one for each member of The Who. Couldn't be any more Meta unless it was Shaped Like Itself. |

Within-fiction example: A tract by Jack Chick features a "Christian rock group" (who later fall under Satan's power, apparently because all rock music is inherently evil) who sing a song with the lyrics "We're gonna rock, rock, rock with the rock!". | |

"Let There Be Rock" by AC/DC. Also 'Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution' and 'High Voltage'. The subject seems popular in general for the band. Can't forget "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)." And "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)" "Rocker" (from Dirty Deeds), "Can't Stop Rock And Roll" (Stiff Upper Lip), "Rock 'N Roll Damnation" (Powerage) "Rock 'N Roll Singer" (High Voltage), "Rock and Roll Dream/Train" (Black Ice), "She Likes Rock and Roll" (Black Ice), the list goes on. On why "rock and roll" shows up so often in titles and lyrics, Angus has declared that "Certain songs just seem to come to life when you add that phrase." |

The lyrics are more of a slam against white boy metal/rap bands like Korn (they had recently slammed him in the press about his style of music). The music is meant to be a Take That! of sorts at the nu-metal sound, in the stylings of Ben Folds. Still qualifies as meta tho. | |

Cornershop's "Brimful of Asha", all about the history of Indian music and its usage in films. Their "No Rock: Save in Roll" pays similar tribute to 70s British rock (songwriter Tjinder Singh grew up in the West Midlands of England, the cradle of British Hard Rock and Heavy Metal). |
