I was wondering if the Music subpage should be cut. Fanon Discontinuity is "the act of fans mentally writing out certain events in a show's continuity which don't sit well". Music is usually not a about continuous stories. Further, the Film subpage has this note: "Ignoring certain works of a person or company so they're "still good" is also forbidden as that would be ignoring real life events (which we are not doing here)."

The Music subpage is just that: people ignoring real life events like a member leaving a band or the release of an album... at best it's redundant with Dork Age.

Sounds like reason for deletion. If a work isn't part of a continuity, it's just complaining to call it this.

The vast majority, if not all, of these examples have nothing to do with the narrative of their music, just the artists themselves. I agree that this should be cut.

If there was one for Gloryhammer or other people who write concept albums such as Rhapsody of Fire, then keep it if it's about not liking (and wanting not to have happened) things that happen in the lyrics to such albums, but that is only thing that falls under this trope.
Definitely agree to cut it if nothing like that can be found, and only remade for Fanon Discontinuity of things happening in concept albums which tell a story.
