Re: What's experimental?
A few years back, when Derek Bailey was still alive, there was a letter to The Wire magazine complaining about their very positive, and frequent coverage of this "avant garde" and "experimental" musician. The letter-writer said that there had been nothing exciting, new or experimental in Derek Bailey's music for years or even decades, and that what had been "experimental" in the 60's was old hat these days and should be recognized as such. It was a very funny letter.

I think it means stepping outside of a (percieved) boundary and trying something new. As a marketing label it points to music that doesn't follow current or traditional marketing terms. Used on a personal level it is even more subjective.
