This is an interesting piece but I am not seeing enough sources to make it suitable. The article is all but unsourced and the Internet isn't helping. Cptnono (talk) 07:55, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Alternatively "animated musical groups" with some sources could work?Cptnono (talk) 07:57, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep There are a couple sources in the article, and the fact that Guinness has a category for it shows that it's at least a thing. It's a hard term to Google though. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 05:29, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I'll admit that it's difficult to find articles that discuss the topic without going in-depth into the history of Gorillaz. However, I did find a few sources that satisfied me: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. This phrase does seem very heavily associated with Gorillaz, as expected, but it does get used to describe other bands. There's a little bit of discussion about the topic itself in those links, too. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 07:47, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
