[edit] Spazcore

Delete. The term "Spazcore" or "Spazzcore" is irrelevant and contrived. No one uses the term except for occaisonally those who are far-removed from the DIY hardcore scene, who are unfamiliar with the actual terminology and therefore invent their own. For instance, mainstream rock journalists who have likely never attended a DIY show in their lives may make up their own terms ("spazcore") to describe music that already has a more legitimate name ("second wave powerviolence"). The article is pointless; it's obviously one person's attempt to use Wikipedia to legitimize a silly and non-existant term. Alexanderj 11:23, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Keep googling shows useage, but not to common. Eivind 12:03, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as neologism, dicdef. --Terence Ong 16:05, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. The term is growing in usage. Possibly rename it with two Z's, as "spazzcore" has approximately 13K Google hits, "spazcore" has about 3K. Rob T Firefly 02:05, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to power violence. The term is actually in use, but there's no need for it to have its own article. --keepsleeping slack off! 17:53, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable, unverifiable neologism, i.e. protologism. Stifle 18:05, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
