scope 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.
