Guitar Pop

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

There is nothing to support this as a real genre of music. The only citation is an external link to a promotional article of an artist that mentions the words "guitar pop" only in passing in the article's body. This appears to be just another way of saying "pop rock". Y2kcrazyjoker4 (talk) 13:21, 17 May 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. This would appear to be a rather imperfectly defined genre: Guitar Pop comprimises of catchy, light pop lyrics with the use of guitars.  This would appear to encompass almost all of the guitar based pop music from 1951's Rocket 88 forward.  - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:40, 24 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete: no evidence that this is a definable genre. The bands mentioned (without sources) would be first thought of as other genres, such as alternative rock. The term is sometimes used, but a term is not a genre.-- SabreBD  (talk)  19:19, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
