otherstream
(UH thur streem')
n., adj. A branch of art (or pertaining to a branch of art) whose
contents are new to the majority of the contemporaries of the art's
creators; opposed to "knownstream," but not necessarily
significantly original, for it might consist "merely" of revitalized
previously by-passed art--thus, not a synonym for "avant garde."
