stub status[edit]

This article isn't still a stub, is it? It's looking pretty good. I'm going to remove the stub class. 160.72.238.66 (talk) 14:16, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unsupported comment[edit]

The article says:

"Ironically, Bridgers has said that after they decided to become a band, numerous men attempted to take credit for the idea of them collaborating."

This comment is supported by two citations: https://www.npr.org/2018/08/21/639528019/hear-new-music-from-phoebe-bridgers-julien-baker-lucy-dacus-supergroup-boygenius and https://www.wmagazine.com/story/boygenius-tour-interview/.

The W Magazine article does not contain anything that supports this comment.

The NPR article says ""It seemed obvious to record a 7-inch for tour, although many adult men will try to take credit for the idea," Bridgers says." i.e. Bridgers is speculating what might happen, she is not reporting something that has actually happened as the comment claims. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.208.121.132 (talk) 23:31, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it per your comment. Endwise (talk) 11:20, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Supergroup Classification[edit]

A supergroup is a band made of successful solo artists, thus it is important to make sure to specify in the opening of this page that it is made of successful artists in their own right. Fob183 (talk) 18:53, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Especially, do not remove when it has multiple sources and “trio” has none. Fob183 (talk) 18:53, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Other band members[edit]

Shouldn't we also mention the other band members? On their November 11, 2023 appearance on Saturday Night Live, there were two bass players, a keyboard player, and a drummer (seven musicians in all). 2605:A000:FFC0:5F:F9BD:9D:B97C:57D4 (talk) 06:07, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

These members, while talented, are not necessarily 'permanent' members. See backup bands and "Often, backup bands contain sidemen who are skilled but not known to the public; these musicians may be replaced or substituted at any time without noticeable impact on the performance."
