These experiments many times give rise to new genres of music such as: industrial, noise, free jazz, electronica, tape music, noise rock, etc. Once those genres become more established, formulaic and recycled, they no longer strictly fit the definition of experimental music. They may become decidedly unexperimental as norms within the genre solidify. In order to keep experimental experimental, the composer(s) must continuously discard tradition (even tradition established by other experimental composers) and create the unexpected, reimagined, and possibly, the socially unacceptible.

frank zappa was an experimental/ progressive artist, but he didn't play experimental music (like noise or all this stuff connected with minimalism or free jazz or dissonances)

haha, there is way less experimental music in this world than is tagged on last.fm. - why is that ? easy to tell. if music sounds a little bit off our normal hearing habits, we're easy in declaring it "experimental" ... i agree that only Keiji Haino deserves the tag.
