Get the avant gardemug. Avant-garde (pronounced avɑ̃gaʁd in French) means "advance guard" or "vanguard".1 The adjective form is used in English, to refer to people or works that are experimental or innovative, particularly with respect to art, culture, and politics.
Avant-garde represents a pushing of the boundaries of what is accepted as the norm or the status quo, primarily in the cultural realm. The notion of the existence of the avant-garde is considered by some to be a hallmark of modernism, as distinct from postmodernism. However, this is not true in the case of music as many pieces are still being released which are generally considered avant-garde in popular culture.2 Many artists have aligned themselves with the avant-garde and still continue to do so, tracing a history from Dada to the Situationists to postmodern artists such as the L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E writers in the 1980's to many art collectives in the "post-postmodernist"3 times of today.4

Get the Avante Gardemug. People who just don't give a Fuck.
"A Waste."
they go against what is onsidered the "Norm"
and partake in true innovativeness.
they are not a stereotype. only few people are truly "Avant Garde" in the true sense of the term.

Get the Avant-Gardemug. Someone who thinks they are "too cool for school". They think they have the flyest kicks, and gear bruh. Usually can be seen wearing skinny jeans, and a cardigan, with matching nike sb's. they think they are ahead of their time, even though all the other db's are wearing the same thing.
Generally these are the people you think are faggots.
They are trying to be trend setters, for trends already set,homo.
