Avant-garde? [edit]

Are some of these movements really considered avant-garde?

I mean is post rock really all that avant garde? Don't get me wrong, I like post rock, and I believe it's pushing the boundaries for what music can be, but I don't know of any musicologists who would put it in that category. Does anyone know of any literature that refers to post rock as avant garde? Same goes for avant-garde metal, avant-prog, and krautrock.

Same goes for cyberpunk. Is that an avant-garde movement in literature? I thought it was just a genre.

There should be verification for inclusion of links on the template. If the article on the topic doesn't show it is considered avant-garde, then it should be removed from the nav box. Fill in the edit summary (bar above "save page" button) to explain the rationale for removal of content. Ty 18:21, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Anticon [edit]

The inclusive of anticon is ridiculous. It's an alternative hip hop label started in the late 90's. I'm going to remove it. MMBKG (talk) 01:49, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Post-rock [edit]

Bar the title, does post-rock really belong here? --186.82.60.241 (talk) 19:07, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Criteria for exclusion [edit]

What are the current criteria for inclusion on this list? Given the above discussion it seems that there is none. Thus I propose that a mention of the genre as avant-garde on the genre's article and preferably in a cited source be used as criteria. Thus I propose that if the item is not described as avant-garde anywhere in its article, and one wishes to do so, one may remove the item followed by posting a comment here regarding the removal according to this criteria (under a heading such as "Removed: Uncited").
