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.

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.
