some highlights from previous threads on the subject:

mutant = art = process = living

creatures of creation, indefinable and free....

What is a mutant?

In this context you could define a mutant as "an enthusiast/participant in the AMF" in the same way a BM enthusiast is labelled a "burner". But something tells me most self-identified mutants would cringe at such an accessible label. Sooo...

Well, the term "mutant" implies something that is randomly, inherently different from what is considered "normal". However, biologically we are all mutants.

My impression is that the term is used here to imply cultural mutation; that is, the random variety of different choices people make when they accept the responsibility for making their own decisions; This can be applied across the cultural spectrum, from how we interact/organize with each other and ourselves, to the choices we make in clothing, diet, and music.

Generalizations sort of defeat the purpose of what I'm trying to get at (the essence of AMF), but it's a nearly unavoidable linguistic tool: A mutant is generally an artist in the sense that any form of expression is art, and opposed philosophically to the pervading corporate monoculture.

When someone identifies as a "mutant", they are probably not trying to tell you they like to party with trippy art in the woods. They are telling you something about their worldview, that they embrace the unique, that they at least see THEMSELVES as incompatible with mainstream society.

So what are AMFs like?

Don't throw rotten mutant tomatoes at me for this question -- how are AMFs different from BM?
