Disputed Prod. Non-notable neologism, self-coined by a minor band to describe their sound. Has a few references but their content is summed up by one of the direct quote in the article "the group took it upon themselves to create their own genre that they lovingly call "Skull Music"" nancy talk 06:42, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete - Clockcleaner - great band. This article - NN neologism. Wheelchair Epidemic (talk) 10:46, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete - According to the avoid neologisms article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Avoid_neologisms, this article does not meet the criteria for deletion within the "Articles on neologisms" section. Skull music is not just simply defined, and the article is verifiable with reliable sources.

:* Other bands, the label, music websites, and a radio program have picked up the term and used it. Illegalyouth (talk) 18:30, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

::*Two or three band in a cities scene doesn't make it a genre. I live in the Philly area and have never heard the term used.Inhumer (talk) 01:35, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

:::* I don't see why not. The wikipedia article on Music genre mentions no requirement for a minimum number of bands -- "A music genre is a categorical and typological construct that identifies musical sounds as belonging to a particular category and type of music that can be distinguished from other types of music."
