Avant-conservatism

"Avant-conservatism, a term coined by Mark Fisher as kpunk, is characteristic of middle class, college educated, liberal minded, predomimately white people who take on the veneer of danger or artiness in their work but are easily absorbed into the capitalist process.
Fisher used Sonic Youth as an example of this concept given how easily they have leant themselves to corporations like Starbucks, their noisy art rock was still palatable enough to be commodified as while it was noisy, it wasn't particularly challenging.
Sonic Youth were easier to sell than say their co-patriots The Butthole Surfers as uptil their later years they resisted commodification by being as dark and as disturbing as possible."
