 The absence of avant-garde as a listed genre 

It seems lately the avant-garde genre has been under fire with an insistence that it practically doesn't exist in music other than decades old compositions. An insistence that music historically deemed ""avant-garde"" is to from now on only be categorized as ""experimental"". Such is the nature of Wikipedia's current avant-garde music article. Nevertheless, this article currently drops numerous references to Zappa's interactions with the very real genre. Zappa agrees to the genre in a 1974 interview.Frank Zappa Interview, 1974 Does anyone have an objection to its inclusion? If so, please permanently append a reason why to the talk page
