What's the difference between edgy, avant-garde and minimalist style? Although being different, in my mind they seem to cross over a bit and I'm not quite sure I know how to separate them.

Associations

  • edgy: black, hardware, studs, RATE, rock'n'roll

  • avant-garde: unconventional, layers, architectural, sculptural, textural

  • minimalist: functional, simple, clean lines,Scandinavian,

    architectural, solid colour, stripped down

How would you describe the different styles? Illustrations are very welcome.
