Help in understanding article[edit]

So what the hell is it? Meelar 19:26, 14 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I did an edit seeing the previous article explained not much at all. I'm more into the written word, though... if someone wants to add something about films they can go right ahead.

Major Reworking[edit]

This article says almost nothing about the subject and just names a bunch of artists. I am catagorizing it as an art stub. Peer Review anyone? PhatJew 18:56, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We are seeking reviewers for this article, if you would be interested, please feel free to come on over! Anyone is welcome! Kyaa the Catlord 16:49, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism?[edit]

I don't know enough about transgressive art to say for certain, but something about the edits of 84.191.252.36, 84.191.219.75, 84.191.248.169, 84.191.222.184, and 84.191.216.189 (Obviously all the same person, judging by the similar IPs and MO.) that just don't seem right. Anyone more knowledgable care to take a peek? -- g026r 18:18, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And nevermind, I've reverted the edits for the time being. I just noticed a few of them that made no sense (artists of the 90s influencing Throbbing Gristle?) that obviously imply vandalism. -- g026r 18:20, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Transgressive Literature?[edit]

Are Trainspotting, Fight Club and American Psycho actually considered transgressive literature? They don't seem nearly as 'transgressive' as the art of G. G. Allin, Kern, Zedd, etc. don 22:07, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Transgressional fiction article intro goes on about protagonists seeking to better themselves and their surroundings by breaking out - doesn't apply to Patrick Bateman, the poor, misguided soul: he ends up with, This is not an exit. Good old-fashioned hell on earth.--Shtove 21:27, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Moving Line of Transgressive Art[edit]

By it's nature transgressive art becomes more mainstream with time. What used to be considered horrifically violent or the "height of offensiveness" becomes less so. Just as inversely in the world of political correctness we find that treatment of women and minorities as anything less than equal is less and less acceptable.Benjiboi 09:19, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Transgressive Music[edit]

Sure there is some talking about transgressive music, but have you guys ever checked te lyrics of most extreme metal/music bands? Especially brutal death metal, goregrind and to some extend, noise music, have some very transgressive lyrics. Thought this could be of help... TdpCtch22 08:46, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The term Transgressive[edit]

The article states that "The term transgressive was first used by American filmmaker Nick Zedd and his Cinema of Transgression in 1985." Clarification of this statement is needed, as Google Ngram Viewer finds many examples of its usage over time.WikkanWitch (talk) 19:45, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Fugs[edit]

The Fugs transgressed extremely, but were active before it became trendy to attach fancy words to every genre and sub-genre. Are they excluded because they were transgressive before the genre was named? The word "transgressive" has been part of the English language for centuries, so what does it even mean to say "the term was first used by..."? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.147.124.196 (talk) 14:45, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
