Originally it was a label for post grunge bands like Nickelback with perceived lack of talent but high commercial success, but IME these days it's often applied to hair metal bands and/or glam bands and the like going all the way back to at least the mid eighties too. Style over substance is the gist of it, I reckon. Or maybe just "music I don't like." ;)

I could be wrong but I think the name comes from the kinds of radio stations that play stuff like Nickelback. "WKJR! Nothing BUT ROCK!!!!" => "butt rock."

I don't know what butt rock is.

By "cheesy" I just mean that wasting all of that creativity on finding jew and exciting ways to kill people seems weird to me.

I totally get that. There are definitely plenty of horror movies that are incredibly creative with story and atmosphere, and those tend to be my faves. The kill-fests don't interest me much anymore.
