the avant garde in music is always on the leading edge. "experimental" means NOTHING, each and every composer experiments. where do you draw the line and say "this" is experimental as opposed to "that?" you know?
avant garde is the cutting edge, and by virtue of that, it is not always enjoyable. the ctting edge, the avant garde, is where the mistakes are made. pop music is so boring specifically because it does not seek to create new things, instead looking to perfect old tried-and-true formulas.
avant garde artists, like sonic youth were in the early 80's, are either loved or hated. it is quite a didactic situation.
