Its name stems from its use of low-fidelity production & recording equipment and a laid-back & unsophisticated attitude of performance, giving it an unclean and distinctly ramshackle sound associated with Generation X "slacker" culture.
Developing alongside early-to-mid 1980s Alternative Rock/Indie Pop genres Twee Pop, Jangle Pop, Noise Pop and the New Zealand Dunedin Sound, slacker rock artists take inspiration from the sparsely produced, DIY-ethics exhibited in these styles with a strong emphasis placed on technically inferior/sloppy-sounding recording and musicianship. This is either intentional with the idea to lend the music a certain rough charm or simply due to being performed by underground artists with a lack of facilities and/or equipment (typically making use of 4-track Tascam recorders), money and musical training.
After the foundation set by acts such as Beat Happening, Dinosaur Jr., and Tall Dwarfs in the 1980s, slacker rock reached its golden period in the 1990s, the decade with which the music is most readily identified, with bands such as Pavement, Guided by Voices, Sebadoh, Neutral Milk Hotel, Modest Mouse, and Sparklehorse emerging around this period. Slacker rock artists provided a disjointed contrast between raw, dissonant guitar lines and catchy melodies reminiscent of Power Pop and other general Pop Rock motifs (comparable to noise pop's marriage between waves of distortion and hook-friendly Pop tunes).
Countless underground and unsigned bands continue to practice the style, whilst successful artists in the 2010s such as Courtney Barnett, Alex G, and Car Seat Headrest have been influenced by and adopted elements of 1990s slacker rock into their sound.

Lyrics;
Oh, baby
Oh, man
You're makin' me crazy
Really drivin' me mad
That's alright with me
It's really no fuss
As long as you're next to me
Just the two of us
You're my, my, my, my kind of woman
My, oh my, what a girl
You're my, my, my, my kind of woman
And I'm down on my hands and knees
Beggin' you please, baby
Show me your world
Oh, brother
Sweetheart
I'm feelin' so tired
Really fallin' apart
And it just don't make sense to me
I really don't know
Why you stick right next to me
Wherever I go
You're my, my, my, my kind of woman
My, oh my, what a girl
You're my, my, my, my kind of woman
And I'm down on my hands and knees
Beggin' you please, baby
Show me your world

Oh baby, oh man
You're making my crazy, really driving me mad
That's all right with me, it's really no fuss

You're my, my, my, my kind of woman
And I'm down on my hands and knees
Begging you please, baby, show me your world
Oh brother, sweetheart
I'm feeling so tired really falling apart
And it just don't make sense to me
I really don't know
Why you stick right next to me or wherever I go
You're my, my, my, my kind of woman
My, oh my, what a girl
You're my, my, my, my kind of woman
And I'm down on my hands and knees
Begging you please, baby, show me your world

"I really don't know why you stick next to me, whenever I go."
I understand, Mac. And I'm glad she does.
@MFSPOON1242
love that line
@cyyytr0n
I think we all know/knew that kind of love .. when we feel that we somehow don't really deserve it .. that's a strange, strangely good feeling, I can tell
@gregoryjimenez2068
Yesss, and ugh, its hard not to think that your partner would be happier with someone else, and dang, it just gets really really depressing. (That might just be me)
