Future music

 * — (View AfD)

A "particularly narrow genre of music", according to the article. But: I suspect that this is a self-conscious prank being played upon us, trying to test how closely we'll actually read the thing. Notice that there are no examples of musicians within this genre, nor any concrete social references made.
 * "Laser gun and phaser effects"?
 * "Post-post-post-modernism"?
 * Not a "line" but a "figure eight" of reason?
 * "Inexplicably clad in assorted tin foil outfits"?
 * "Robo-Nerds"? (no Google hits in conjunction with this term)

In addition, sifting through page history turns up and, with very similar edit patterns to the creator of this article (this article itself, and Vietnam-related articles). One of them added the "Robo-Nerds" reference, while the other added Sokal Affair to the "See also" section. Read that; draw your conclusions. Unint 20:07, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

^Delete: I highly doubt that this is an actual "genre" of music. The fact that it links to Sokal Affair seems to be a dead give away that someone is trying to play a trick on us. Also virtually nothing links to the article. Deathawk 20:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
