It's worth noting that the sort of stadium rock played by {{U2}}, INXS or SimpleMinds doesn't necessarily come under this heading; their sound was typically more influenced by post-punk and "modern rock" (such as it was in the 1980s).

Since bands of any genre can fill an arena if they're popular enough, arena rock has several characteristics that differentiate it from other rock subgenres. "Guitar pyrotechnics" and massed vocal harmonies performed by the whole band were very common, as were [[AudienceParticipationSong Audience Participation Songs]] with big, anthemic choruses. Most singers had cleaner-sounding vocals than a lot of the other HardRock or HeavyMetal groups of the time and often performed with an operatic flair. Lyrically, most arena rock songs were pretty simple, with many a straightforward PowerBallad for audiences to sing along with.
