I know I bring up science in the post, but I mean to say there is an idea, or speculation, some might believe as fact, that avant-garde music is now a genre that is over, rather than a subjective term for cutting edge music. Therefore, if you sound cutting edge, you are labeled as creating music within a genre that isn’t current. Probably an elitist, postelitist, or even postmodern idea, or all of the above. ABCDs, very academic.

The avant-garde is under attack”

Is there a name for this theory (other than “inevitable result of simpering submission to the New World Order”)?
