User:AppalachianCentrist added the following text: "Culturally, Knoxville witnessed a key development of its underground music scene in punk rock and hardcore punk in the late 1970s and early 1980s that popularized intensively in the region over time. Such bands included UXB, the STDs, and Koro." The edit was supported by these sources: [1][2][3].

AppalachianCentrist:

  • Only one of the three sources mentions "hardcore punk", and it is in reference to "NORFOLK, a huge naval-base town". Which of your three sources mentions "hardcore punk" in Knoxville?
  • You mention "the late 1970s". Only one of your three sources mentions this decade, "Bar Knoxville...it was once a counterculture place called Alice’s Restaurant, known in the ‘70s for live music." Which of your sources supports "Knoxville witnessed a key development of its underground music scene in punk rock and hardcore punk in the late 1970s"?
  • Which source supports that Knoxville's punk rock and hardcore punk music scenes were "popularized intensively in the region over time"? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:11, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

" The PDF source talks about hardcore punk (often shorted to hardcore). Same PDF file talks about the punk scene increasing in popularity. "KNOXVILLE underground music history begins with UXB, John Sewell’s Doyle High School Punk band (that briefly move to New York), and The STDs, Oak Ridge kid Jon Wallace’s nasty HC group that would infect the region. --AppalachianCentrist (talk) 21:29, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@AppalachianCentrist: So you are interpreting "Oak Ridge kid Jon Wallace’s nasty HC group that would infect the region", to mean "Knoxville witnessed a key development of its underground music scene in punk rock and hardcore punk...that popularized intensively in the region over time". Is this correct? Magnolia677 (talk) 10:19, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is what I am inferring. I will move it to the culture component of the article if it concerns you this much. --AppalachianCentrist (talk) 21:00, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
