Should anyone doubt that this was a genuinely widely-covered genre, as the recent PROD nomination suggests may be the case, perhaps these sources will help: Encyclopedia of contemporary British Culture, The Guardian, Robert Christgau, NME/The Encyclopedia of Popular Music, CMJ New Music Monthly, CMJ New Music Monthly again, and see also Steven Wells' book Punk: young, loud & snotty : the stories behind the songs.--Michig (talk) 18:27, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If that's the case, why has this article persisted in its current unreferenced, pathetic state for 5 bloody years? ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 01:32, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Because nobody has made an effort to add sources to the article, not because they don't exist, and not because the subject isn't notable or encyclopedic.--Michig (talk) 05:35, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is that better? It didn't look like anyone else could be bothered to improve it so I have.--Michig (talk) 16:43, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
