The Two Styles of Avant-garde.

There must be at least two distinct types of "avant-garde" artist: The hipster and the true artist.

The hipster is likely to call his or her work "avant-garde". The true artist, conversely, is more likely to be surprised should his work be called that.

The hipster's "avant-garde" will be "experimental for experimental's sake", whereas the true artist may be so far as insulted to have the deepest vibration of his or her Soul labeled "trendy" or "strange".
