[edit] Indie-electro
The genre doesn't exist The-15th (talk) 23:06, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Comment What is your proof that it doesn't exist? Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 23:09, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Comment That's a rather strange question. One might as well ask "where is your proof that the Easter bunny doesn't exist". Normally, the default position is not to accept a hypothesis until one has evidence to the contrary, but you seem to be doing the opposite. Ogranut (talk) 23:16, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- No notable figures inside the music business (serious music critics) have claimed the existence of the genre and on google search, all that appears are just blogs using the term and last.fm, but both sources are not sufficient to justify the creation of a page for an invented genre.

- Weak delete I find that musical genres in general tend to be a long chain of sub-sub-sub-sub-genres that multiply like viruses. While this term does seem to have a fairly wide amount of use, I've yet to see a reliable source use it. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 23:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete This is not an actual genre the article even states itself, It is not a true genre Kuro Woof 00:11, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete not an actual genre. Basically all the uses of it are by people unfamiliar with actual genres like New Rave, Grindie, Nintendocore, Electroclash, Dance-Punk etc. etc. etc. (yes, I do know a wealth about electronically leaning indie rock). Otherwise, no reliable sources to prove its existence outside of blogs and the like 15:51, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete as "not a true genre" seems to be the first direct assertion of non-notability I have ever encountered in an article. - Dravecky (talk) 04:50, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- strong delete - article asserts "not a true genre", above. This means the article isn't even about a genre, it's about the author's neologism. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 17:08, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
