Tons of Google books hits, but when you click through, almost all of them are actually scannos of "post-disco" (and lots of them are actually from the same book of supposedly copyrighted Wikipedia-rips reuploaded hundreds of times to flood Amazon). I can only find one that's actually "postdisco": "Tina Turner, a veteran soul performer who had long fronted the band led by her one-time husband, the R & B and rock pioneer Ike Turner, refashioned herself into a postdisco diva" Are there any others?

Actually there are a fair few unhyphenated occurrences in Google Books. Added two to the adjective, but they might apply to the noun too/instead. May look harder later. Equinox 13:33, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If it fails RFV, please move citations to the Citations page. Equinox 01:21, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The one citation which was under the noun could also be interpreted as an adjective. I used the three citations of the unhyphenated form to support an adjective POS, defined as a (rare) alternative form of post-disco, where I moved the noun definition. I changed the noun definition based on WP. - -sche (discuss) 21:13, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
