I prefer all those to "weird"....the word weird says more about the 
listener than the performer....the word I prefer to all of them is 
"creative music"....music that is creative in that it is charting or 
navigating lesser known territories.

Not weird means mainstream to me.

And as George Carlin said, "The reason the mainstream is thought of as 
a stream is because it’s so shallow."

galleries, clubs....parking garages. :-)

No.

Yes. And one guy was fired for hiring me once......
