In this day and age, does any kind of (literary) avantgarde and underground culture actually still exist or has the internet and the co opting of just about every alternative culture into the mainstream frankly made the whole idea obsolete?

No. Pure Socialism with a dystopian twist, let's say closer to Huxlian is the opposite of Bane.

Bane is the brutal, the controlled, individually strong, advocate of systemic chaos and personal responsibility to the extent that he shoulders the singular burden of his love's father, the destruction of the perceived corrupt. Huxlian is the opposite, in that they are focused on the alleviation of pain and focus on pleasure, negative discipline, total systemic control and positive corruption.

I recently started reading "Junkie", but I've heard Burroughs "destroys the language" in other works of his. Anyone care to explain how he "accomplishes" this?
