You could go anywhere in America and argue with some success for the cultural impact wrought by most of the once-subcultural stars of Lizzy Goodman's oral history of New York's post-9/11 rock scene, 'Meet Me In The Bathroom.'

The category's been going around social media for a bit, but there's even a domain exclusively for Cigarette Mom Rock.
