When I saw the thread title I thought of this even before I thought of the music itself. I watched this repeatedly back in the day. Also Michael McDonald and John Oates both liked it :3:

Here to agree hard, particularly that loyalty to Satan is absolutely complementary with loyalty to Yacht Rock, as both promote the greatest human value: SWEET FREEDOM

It’s also in GTA 5. There is something about riding around throwing stickies out of your car window murdering people while the dulcet tones of Michael McDonald soothes you.

That was the origin of the term. I was expecting the OP to be about this series. Kind of cool that it apparently caught on.

I remember being introduced to that series on MySpace, and getting really excited that there was a term for that kind of music. I did not realize until years later that they literally created the term. It goes to show how successful you can be if you come up with a hilarious term to define a concept that has no specific name.

Also the guy who plays Giorgio Moroder from the final episode of Yacht Rock (which is the best one) is the guitarist from Tenacious D which is amazing

I get a weird kind of nostalgia from this stuff. For my early grade school years this was the sound of adulthood. If my parents got dressed up and left me with a babysitter they were, in my mind, going somewhere with this sort of vibe. I don't think it's because they listened to it much, it was just on the radio a lot and obviously something grown-ups were into.
