To quote the PROD that didn't make 5 days: "a pointless, not commonly used genre name that does not need its own article even if it does exist. A few articles and such about it but they're mostly about specific club nights. No evidence this has any chance of becoming a common or in any way useful term." I couldn't agree more.

  • Delete - The majority of Google hits for this are related to a club night rather than a specific genre or movement.[1],[2], even most of this guardian article. It may have popped up every now and then as a term because of the club night/tour and bands but genres or "movements" coined by artists and promoters themselves are hardly worthy of articles. Unless they start being used all over the place like gothic which I think stemmed from a Joy Division press release or something like that. An article on the promoter, club night or tour might work but I'm not sure that was what is being attempted in the article. I can already see someone arguing that wonky pop exists because it has a Wikipedia article and we should avoid this sort of thing. Jellypuzzle | Talk 12:55, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
