Genre (Avant-Rock vs. Avant-Garde Rock vs. Experimental rock)

There's a bit of a dispute between several different genre labels. It's switched pretty often between "avant-rock" and "experimental rock". It currently sits at Avant-rock. I'm wondering why this is, considering that such a label is a tad esoteric. Experimental rock conveys the same ideas and is nearly interchangeable while also being a much more common term (and the main title of that page). Even "Avant-Garde Rock" seems better then "avant-rock" which I haven't really seen elsewhere on the site. Discussion/explanation? Mellothumb (talk) 22:49, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The source cited uses the former--"avant-rock". I don't really want to lean on a Wikipedia article as a factor in deciding things (WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS), especially an article with verification issues, but if you search either "avant-rock" or "avant-garde rock" with "Sonic Youth" at GoogleBooks in a search for relevant literature on the topic, "avant-rock" "Sonic Youth" shows more results than "avant-garde rock" "Sonic Youth". Also, the source currently cited--the 33⅓ book on this album--is one of the most reliable sources on the topic (WP:STICKTOSOURCE). Dan56 (talk) 02:45, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, alright, fair enough. Still seems odd to me to subscribe to the wording used in a source when more descriptive or effective wording exists, but I can understand the reasoning. Mellothumb (talk) 17:42, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
