History Section Biased?

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?

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) reply
