Fair points Herr Rail, I wouldn't disagree with any of them. I'm more getting at the notion in the popular consciousness that the 'avant-garde' is somehow in opposition to 'pop' forms, or that avant-garde is a term applied to anything which falls outside of the major narrative of 'popular music'. To me, 'avant-garde' has scant accurate application - it certainly doesn't mean some nonsense art student twatting a fan with fish. This is the problem with more music than I'd care to name, its conceptual forebears over-rides whether or not it's worthwhile art. 'Avant-garde' thereby rendered as a list of influences, utterly invalidating its major project of expanding the qualias of sense, inclusivity surrendered to enforced false-alienation.
Apologies if I'm sounding like a Marxist.
