- Note
- THE WEAKEST TERM ON THIS AXIS, and flagged rather than dressed up. The trade has no settled label for these thirty years - it dates by decade, or reaches for a style name instead - so this is a bucket the axis needs for completeness rather than a period anyone asks for by name. Expect it to be split or renamed once there is usage evidence to split it on.

No external scheme has been searched for this term yet. That is the absence of a record rather than a result: where a scheme has been searched and found to carry nothing, the search, its date and its query are published here as evidence. See governance.
