When they do, it is no longer conventional.

So the  conventions of experimental film never become conventional?

 
Exactly what I was trying to  say.  
 
I guess the question becomes, for  some, when in history does something swing 
from experimental to merely outre to  conventional to cliche to Honda 
commercial?  

 
How does that apply to an artist's  ouvre over time?  If their works don't 
radically change, are they suddenly  relegated to the category of cliche-makers 
just because time has blunted the  boldness of their pioneering works?  Or are 
they  grandfathered/grandmothered -- granted permanent outsider status?  

 
Obviously one size does not fit  all.
