Frat rock is a subgenre of rock and roll. It is generally characterized by very upbeat "party" music. The genre is named after the fact that most of this music was played predominantly at fraternity houses during its heyday in the 1960s. The movie Animal House played numerous selections of this style of music during the film.

Examples of this style of music include the song Louie Louie, which was done by Paul Revere and the Raiders and The Kingsmen and Double Shot (of my Baby's Love) by the Swinging Medallions.
