Modern Edge Metal

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Completely unsourced article about one musician's own self-invented neologism for his own musical "genre", with no properly sourced indication of the term having ever been used by anybody else. Every genre term that an individual artist invents to communicate how unique their own music is does not automatically get a Wikipedia article; a genre term has to be properly sourceable as having real-world currency in critical analysis of music.

 * Delete. There are only a few dozen Google hits for this, and none of them are reliable.  It seems to have been made up by a band and never caught on.  Given the brackets sprinkled throughout the article, it looks like this may have been copy-pasted from somewhere.  I can't imagine what sources it cited, though, as there's nothing but social media out there. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:04, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
