[edit] Tardcore

Neologism to support a vanity band page (Pretty Flowers) I also put on AFD. 165.189.91.148 20:40, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Tardcore is a real musical movement, with bands taking part across the U.S. (New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, etc.) and the world (Canada, UK, New Zealand). Perhaps the bands should be listed? Just because it's not mainstream doens't mean it's not valid. Russjosephs 21:26, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
  • New edit of page should be acceptable Russjosephs 21:38, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

• Weak Keep but I'd like to see how notable this so-called movement is a year from now. Jtmichcock 02:11, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. This is your typical adjectivecore cruft, complete with the single band that uses the term and the (apparently unaware) supposed other practicioners of the genre. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 02:58, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Made up genre. If it isn't, then we need verifiability, preferably someone talking about it in an independent newspaper, magazine or similar. --Last Malthusian 09:18, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

• • Keep This isn't a made up genre. There are bands across the globe who call themselves Tardcore. Are you all emo-lovers or something?

• Comment I'm not sure whether "emo-lover" is a personal attack or not, but it annoys me anyway, so as yet I refuse to be convinced by a single (apparently) independent article and websites that also list the well-known genre 'Gangsta Polka'. If there are tardcore bands across the globe, please at least point one out that isn't American. --Last Malthusian 09:29, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

• • • KEEP Someone mentioned a verifiable article in a newspaper...the last link is to the Village Voice, where it describes Lightning Bolt, a truly great band, by the way, as Tardcore. Internationally, we have Sudden Infant Dance Syndrome, Porcelain Gods, Wet Spots, (Canada), Knifeyard, The Grates (Australia), Backyard Babies (Sweden), White Sands (Netherlands), Sleazy Cherub, Black Tulips, the Dominoes, Magic Skool Bus (UK), Marmalade, Junkabomb (Japan). In the U.S. there are tons more.

• Keepthis page was useful for me to find out more about a bunch of canadian artists that go by 'tardcore'. For one example, check out ¤M|c²K[°o°_®]S¤ and his music at http://rave.ca/users.php?id=2368

• Delete. I'm not convinced by any of the above links of this genre's verifiability/notability. —Cleared as filed. 22:28, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
