I suppose this very much depends on whether we're synonymising* avant-garde with innovative. I think the latter is a much more important category, and much less inclined toward suckling at the blackened, sour teat of Theodor Prickface. My notion of a 'real' avant-garde is very much like the sort of arguments bandied about during the enlightenment - true and real, so long as no actual particulars get in the way of a good concept. 'Innovative' is almost a cheaper description, in that it can bend contingently, but it also threatens to include Timbaland or Xenomania in the same litany as Ligeti or Part. This is obviously related my general argument about the difference between good postmodernism and bad readers, which I shan't bore the general populace of SYG with.
*Yeah, I said that. So what?
