Edit: Beaten to it. And no, neither The Cars or Devo inspired the term 'minimalist.' |

Were there earlier pop bands that were called "minimalist?"

| | | | Erm, by minimalist, you mean like small line up, one effect on guitar, and such?
Well, blink-182 is that exactly. Well, the early blink was. 3 guys, guitar used no effects pedals(A/B switch between amps on clean and dirty channel), guitar with a single humbucker, both instruments with only a single volume knob and no tone.
I think this is what you mean right?
