Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Post-rave
Fails  and .  I've checked on Google, Google Books, and Google Scholar.  All of the solid references to the words "post-rave" do not refer to a particular genre of music, but only use the term as a an adjective to describe a time period, or a culture, or a wide variety of genres that evolved after the Rave scene wound down. Also, the article itself has not valid references, just myspace pages and Russian language blogs.  There is one English newspaper article but it only mentions " post-rave genre mash-up", which is not a reference to a particular genre. There certainly is music that can be called "post-rave music", but not as a particular genre - many modern electronic music genres were affected by raves and rave-related music.  The articles for those genres do mention post-rave influences, but that does not make post-rave a genre.  If the article were kept, it would need to be completely re-written from scratch, on the topic of how rave-related music genres and rave-related culture has changed following the passing of the peak of rave culture.  That would be an interesting article, but it would not be the same article, so this one should be deleted, but with allowance for re-creation if someone wants to write a new article with the same name, on that larger topic
