	== Bands by Decade Done ==

	OK, I put all bands into a decade - feel free to change any I screwed up, like Soco did for [[The Cunts]]. I tend to put bands into the decade they formed, but for any bands that formed very late in the decade and didn't put out a record into the next one, I went up. I defer to you all if you would like to change. Looking for some opinions:		OK, I put all bands into a decade - feel free to change any I screwed up, like Soco did for [[The Cunts]].

	:: OK I moved all the unmade pages to the More Info section, there were a few bands that had virtually no info in their page that I put in the 80s for some reason, so if you see a straggler page with squat info move there. As for #2 - there isn't a grand point. I will say the 1980s category and the like will encompass not just bands, but venues, records, people etc. So while not terribly useful, I'll probably add a category for each decade a band was active to their page as I see them. Had a bunch not already been done, I would have been fine with not having. But since I started I might as well be consistent.

	:::: For the unofficial record, though, I like the idea regarding the decade categorization of 70s, 80s, and 90s, but, and despite my addition of The [[Lawrence Arms]] officially formed in 1999, included with hesitancy but went ahead and did so for the reasons stated, do we want to include a 2000s category?? Now that we are in 2016 and the 90s scene had a lot to offer, I think it's a good idea to officially graduate this Chicago Punk Archive to a 70s - 90s wiki, but I think we should leave out a decade that doesn't have enough journalistic distance to reflect back on - keeping in mind, this is just my 2 cents and that's about all it is worth!, as I am the one who included an entry for [[The Coughs]] which doesn't really belong here (a genuine thank you goes out to Anarchisti for the adjustment to that page).

	::: Just a comment... I was somewhat hesitant to add Lawrence Arms at all since they officially formed in 1999. My decision to do so was because they are a Brendan Kelly band - frontman for [[Slapstick]]...

In general though, my cutoff date probably lies a little earlier than the very edge, but given certain circumstances like those of The Lawrence Arms I felt the need to be flexible.
