@Conan I guess you didn't see it, but I'll repeat my question from one of my previous posts: How the hell did Guided by Voices end up among sub genres of Avant-Garde?
Wikipedia lists Lo-Fi under their Avant-Garde category. In the context of Popular Music, this makes sense because Lo-Fi recordings are an asthetic. Under the Wikipedia's definition, Avant-Garde "may be used to refer to any other post-1945 tendency of modernist music not definable as experimental music".

Avant Garde will feature far more prominently in the Art Music portion of TUC, but as far as "popular genres" go, there aren't many that fall under this category. Confusing as hell, I know. I'm just going by what Wikipedia says because if I honestly tried to examine every genre in here for accuracy I might be on the computer for the rest of my life.

If you feel the current selection doesn't represent it's genre, however, feel free to suggest another.

I can add it. I just figured Indie pop had that covered.

Confusing indeed. I just find it hilarious that representatives for Avant-Garde are John Cage, Terry Riley and...Guided by Voices.

Here's Avant-Garde music Wikipedia page (no mention of lo-fi) Avant-garde music

And here's Lo-fi : Lo-fi music
I would suggest putting lo-fi into the Rock section. Also, I didn't realize this compilation is for popular genres only, for now. Then Avant-Garde section basically represents those explorations that had a big influence on popular music. So, minimalism and experimental music are fitting. I would also suggest Drone and Noise for the Avant-Garde sub genres.

Done and done. Any suggestions for those two? (just remember we already have a drone metal category so Sun 0))) or Earth would probably fit best in there).

For the Avant-Garde Drone I suggest La Monte Young (The Theatre Of Eternal Music) - Pre-Tortoise Dream Music

I put The Theatre Of Eternal Music along with La Monte Young because it was a group that consisted of La Monte Young, John Cale, Tony Conrad and others, but those compositions were later largely attributed to La Monte Young. So there's a bit of copyright confusion there.
