History Section Biased?[edit]
The History section seems to be focused on New Zealand and American acts, many of whom are very obscure. Perhaps this section needs to be re-written to include both acts from equally influential countries (UK, Canada, etc.) and more mainstream acts? Michaeljm1964 (talk) 14:41, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- These were the only areas were there was a real use of the term "jangle-pop" was as a genre. for a specific set of bands.
- This page was overgrown with entries by people who confused the term "jangle-pop" as a specific genre (i.e. about half a dozen or so US/Georgia based, REM adjacent bands, and a few New Zealand bands) with "jangly" as a description of any band playing guitars without distortion, including just about every band from the early 60s, usually using shitty content farm sources like Paste or About.com
- There is no pre 80s history to Jangle-Pop other than "REM and some other band were really influenced by 60s folk-rock and 70s power pop." Verlaine76 (talk) 11:55, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
