Music/Music genres task force Start‑class

	Music portal Psychedelic pop is within the scope of the Music genres task force of the Music project, a user driven attempt to clean up and standardize music genre articles on Wikipedia. Please visit the task force guidelines page for ideas on how to structure a genre article and help us assess and improve genre articles to good article status.Music/Music genres task forceWikipedia:WikiProject Music/Music genres task forceTemplate:WikiProject Music/Music genres task forcemusic genre

Merge

Oppose; I don't think Psychedelic pop and Psychedelic rock should be merged. The two are distinct and different genres; in essence they are as distinctly different as Pop and Rock are, it just happens to be the psychedelic aspect of those genres that we're talking about. As such, merging the two would be like saying that Black Sabbath operate in the same genre as Herman's Hermits. There's a world of difference between Psychedelic rock bands (like the Blue Cheer for example) and The World of Oz (who were Psychedelic pop) for example. I do, however, agree that there seems to be a lot of crossover and contradiction in this and other related articles, and that they all need a good clean up.

In practice the Psychedelic Rock article covers all band-based Psychedelia as well as some references to electronic dance music. A fan of Hawkwind is more likely (IMO of course) to be interested in Gong, Jethro Tull, Moody Blues and The Yardbirds than Black Sabbath and Budgie. This article is only a fragment and most of the relevant info is already included in 'Psychedelic Rock'. If I had my way I'd move 'Psychedelic Rock' -> 'Psychedelic music' and simply get rid of all the sub-genre pages. Tim flatus (talk) 17:47, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
