Modern grunge

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I am not convinced that this is the name of a genre that is distinct from grunge or post-grunge, and the article is only sourced with various artists' MySpace pages. Prod removed without source improvement by creator. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:23, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

its not really distinct from grunge but every time anyone tries to bring up grunge bands on the the grunge page after the 1990s it either gets deleted or someone just says its not grunge cause its not from the 90s and this was annoying several people so the page had to be created to stop arguments --Justing101 (talk) 21:32, 16 October 2009 (UTC)Justing101


 * Comment I can see the point of the article, but think that if it were better referenced it might stand a better chance of survival. Sorry, but myspace and bebo are no good as main references. I've only done a cursory search, but so far not found much use of the term. 'Grunge revival' seems to attract more hits. Have you tried putting a 'Grunge revival' section in the Grunge article (and explaining why on the talk page)? It's not my scene musically (I go for heavier stuff), but I do know there is a problem with some people and current grunge. Can't really see where they're at, but that's life. If this article survives, remind me to do a copy-ed for you. Peridon (talk) 22:23, 16 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete as there is no recognition or outside notability for such a classification as "modern grunge", which makes about as much sense as "modern 60's music". This is essentially a content fork of material rejected at grunge.  Post-grunge is obviously a recognized (albeit awful, but that's just me :) ) genre.  Try to work with this material there.

 * Delete. None of these bands are notable, and myspace pages are not references.  This all looks like promotion for nonnotable local bands.  Nothing to merge. ---  RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive'  05:02, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing worth merging. Glass  Cobra  12:42, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
