Infobox and lede

Don't love "happy" in quotes per MOS:QUOTEPOV; is there a synonym that wouldn't dilute the intended meaning?

Definition and etymology

Characteristics

"mid 1960s" → "mid-1960s"

Scope and recognition

"coined the term"
""blissful indifference,"" → ""blissful indifference"," per MOS:LQ

Original waves

1960s: Origins and precursors

Link "jangly" to Jangle
Also link rockabilly and doo-wop

1970s: Emergence

It's repeated twice almost verbatim that the Raspberries were the only band to have hit singles in this section; one should be removed or rephrased. I would probably take out the second-paragraph reference since it's in the middle of a larger section on Badfinger, whereas the last para is about the Raspberries

1970s-1980s: Commercial peak and decline

Good

Succeeding waves

1980s-1990s: Alternative rock

Comma after "Redd Kross and the Spongetones" that should probably be a period
The "the" in Los Angeles Times does not need to be capitalized or italicized
And unfortunately, per MOS:'S, it should be "Times's"

1990s-2010s: Continued interest

Good

References

The two Magnet Magazine refs need to be fixed: [9] has "Magnet Magazine" in the title parameter and www.magnetmagazine.com in the work, whereas it should just have "Magnet" in the work, while [16] and [17]'s work just says "magazine"
Per MOS:ALLCAPS, [16] and [17] should also be in title case, not all caps

General comments

Images and audio clips are properly licensed and relevant
No stability concerns in the revision history
Earwig score is artificially inflated by direct quotes & proper nouns, no obvious problems once the actual text is checked

Putting on hold to allow nominator to address comments. Feel free to ping me with questions, and let me know when you're finished. — Ghost River 16:36, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On hold for a week with no response and no changes to the article, so unfortunately I'm going to have to fail this one. You or anyone else is, of course, welcome to resubmit. — Ghost River 17:54, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Done @GhostRiver: Sorry I've been very busy and haven't been able to get around to this until just now. ili (talk) 18:30, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
