Hi, thanks for email. I deleted your article because it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It's not a matter of whether it's a real thing, it's whether the genre is significant enough for an encyclopaedia article. Phrases like emerging... very few bands.... Without reliable references, your article also seemed to be original research.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  08:21, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
 * No, a film would not support the text, would be original research., and would not be an independent verifiable source.  Jimfbleak  -  talk to me?  06:16, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

This is the policy on reliability. In a nutshell, a good source must be third party (not produced or editable by the subject or their represenatives), by reliable authors and with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. So a music critic in a national newspaper would be RS, but the many music websites where it is not even clear who is producing the text would not be adequate. Proper sourcing depends on context and common sense will usually tell you whether a particular source is reliable. To give you an idea, these are the first few sources for hip hop
