avant garde

a term used by people who like to give the impression that they are intellectual art connoisseurs when they are trying to "describe" a quality of a piece of art that they dont understand at all and might not even be there. There are a few who use this term correctly (to describe ultramodernism or experimentation in modern art), but most who use it are ignorant and in denial regarding their own artistic mediocrity.
