... that the phrase "landfill indie", coined in 2008 by the English music journalist Andrew Harrison, was intended as a pejorative term to describe the perceived bland guitar rock that dominated the UK charts in the early 2000s?

Comment: Perhaps you dont mean "perogative?" But pejorative? 2603:7000:2143:8500:6960:9DFE:CAD2:CC8E (talk) 19:24, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

I agree with 2603, and I've changed it in the hook. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 21:25, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks both. Ceoil (talk) 18:19, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you Ceoil, for this encyclopedic entry that was still so witty I laughed out loud. Great work. And ticks almost DYK boxes: new enough, long enough, no copyvio, neutrally written, the hook works for me—do you need a QPQ though, I think? Just ping me when that’s ready (or correct me if I’m reading the tool wrong and you haven’t used up your free passes). Thanks again! Innisfree987 (talk) 18:19, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Sound, will ping you later today when done. Ceoil (talk) 13:18, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Ok User:Innisfree987, QPQ done for Herr, mach uns stark. Ceoil (talk) 18:19, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Great, thanks! Innisfree987 (talk) 19:10, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
