List of experimental musicians should be removed, because there are very few if any people on that list that are truely musical outsiders.

Why is "Wing (singer)" listed under T? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.208.40.109 (talk • contribs)

I think this article is rubbish and should be removed. There is no theoretical underpinning behind this supposed category, and it distorts the work of some of the inviduals named. — Preceding unsigned comment added by B.gilmore (talk • contribs)

There's no theoretical underpinning to most subgenres of popular music. Nevertheless, this term is in use and the categorization valid. If some artists do not belong in this category, they should be removed from it; the category itself is not invalidated by occasional misuse. — Gwalla | Talk 04:59, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's a totally ambiguous term (while all genre terms are to an extent, you can sometimes at least find a consensus about what is or isn't a certain genre) and I don't think it's possible to provide appropriate citations, so yeah.BigglesTh9 07:33, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I dont think Ween should be involved as they are "conscious" of what they are doing, though maybe im not the best informed on them.

Antifolk[edit]

Antifolk is completely different from outsider music. I have no idea why a bunch of random English antifolk acts in this category -- David Cronenberg's Wife, Extradition Order, Paul Hawkins, and any similar others should probably be removed. Howard Luedtke doesn't seem to fit this category either. --S-man (talk) 17:26, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
