Experimental

I have to bitch about people who sing the praises of the experimental artist or writer. Not that I ever want to admit to being opposed to experimenting. I think originality and new ways of thought are imperitave when they are used properly. I do believe in thinking outside of the box but not at the expense of the english language. Experimental becomes an excuse for bad or lazy. A cop-out from someone who really doesn't know what they are doing. As my friend pointed out, if something is experimental and it actually works it becomes innovative or ingenious and it then ceases to be experimental, it sets the standard.
