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.
