[The Walking Dead] Considering the undead are called walkers and zombie movies don't seem to exist, are certain musical artists/songs non-existent?

Rob Zombie, White Zombie, The Cranberries hit song "Zombie"? Do none of these exist in this world due to the term being nonexistent?

One of the things that is usually universal in zombie media is that no one has ever heard of zombies before the main outbreak that destroyed everything. If they had, people wouldn't be bitten while trying to help the foregone, people don't realize that head shots kill them, or there are in-universe explanations to explain away these things.

If people were aware of zombies there would be no massive infestation, more like local outbreaks of a highly terminal disease, but otherwise completely manageable. They have to be completely ignorant for the whole world to fall apart.
