Pop metal
This article merely creates an uncecessary fork of goth metal and new metal, maybe of pop punk also, which are inherently more likely to become mainstream, due to the very nature of their sound. There is no such thing as pop metal. When conservative heavy metal music fans want to describe this sort of band, they merely tag them as posers. This article generates yet more needless discussion over genres, which is already a big enough problem. Thus, delete. --Sn0wflake 18:50, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC) * don't delete POV issues yes, but just needs a re-write rather than complete deletion of a valid genre of music. People who vote for deletion merely have their own judgement clouded my their musical tastes rather than the validity of the genre. * don't delete the key issue here is that wether you like it or not this is a genre of music commonly known and populary used to describe certain music/bands. keep * don't delete i found the article informative. little bit biased but otherwise fine. the guy who wrote the first comment is talking utter rubish. Three "votes" by the same anon. --Sn0wflake 19:35, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak delete While music genres are always a topic for discussion, this article seems to have POV problems (unsigned comment by User:Varnav)
 * Utterly useless non-musical genre. delete or replace with a redirect to nu metal --KharBevNor 18:56, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, definitely POV issue here, music genres seem to be bit of a mess at the moment.
 * This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion, or the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages.  Please do not edit this page .
