I have written extensively, many many times in the real world on the mis-use of the term avant-garde. It's far to long-winded to go into here, but I don't think there's a problem with the avant-garde, or the pugilistic pop: the pretence lies inbetween. My band generally go down very badly with post-rock crowds for being too 'weird for weird's sake'. Brickies, office menials and general normal people like it. Afficionados of the more esoteric, and even the genuinely avant-garde, seem to like it. It's the middle-grounders, the pseuds that have the problems. I understand the Fall have a similar fanbase, for the same reasons (ha!).
