Thank you for your input! Click here for other tag discussions and click here to discuss tagging in general.

Based on their definitions and the limited amount of this type of music on WWR, I believe Avant Garde should be merged into Experimental. Thoughts? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_music Kelli (talk) 12:18, June 2, 2008 (AKDT)

I don't believe they're the same thing. Avant garde to me would seem - a little weird, doing things in unexpected ways..."experimental" makes me think of things I would not class as "music" and might be more ambient noise or collections of sounds that are interesting, but not really musical. Wish I could give an example for you, but I'm having a senior - um - month Cater (talk/contribs) 12:19, August 3, 2008 (AKDT)

I understand what you are saying, but I've seen things tagged experimental here that definitely sound like music. Kelli (talk/contribs) 12:22, August 3, 2008 (AKDT)

I've encountered this issue from time to time while tagging. I understand what both of you are saying and would like to suggest another voting category -- Merge into Avant garde. It seems to me (based upon the wiki definition of avant-garde as it applies to music) that all experimental music is avant garde, but not necessarily the other way around.
