What I'm guessing you're thinking of as "lager" is the usual stuff most Americans and continental Europeans drink--the piss-yellow stuff that's mostly pilsners and sometimes pale bocks. And that's true--those are lagers.
But lager also encompasses the wonderful world of bocks (dark doppels, mai bocks) and October fest beer. It's a shame to dismiss all lagers based on a limited experience of what they are.
