Juji, do you really think that the admins intended this section for people to post music they thought was breaking new ground? Then no one would post here, because they would seem arrogant. Yes, the term avante garde originated that way, but I'm sure the admins intended for this section to be for pieces that fall under the more generally accepted use of the term.
It's acceptable to use the term avante garde to describe a lot of things - movies where all the characters are 800 pounds, blank canvases in the museum of modern art, weird unnecessary independent films, and also things that are strange for the purpose of being strange. The latter is what Franzman meant, I think.
I don't see why it makes Franzman ignorant and passive to disagree or not care about your literary definition of the word Avante Garde.
