>>130818303Closure/Continuation disappointed me. Just me? Or others?
Wasn't this an anti-American song?
I'm 30ish, and this is my favorite music genre. But when I've said 'prog' a couple of times, I've had some Gen X-ers scoff and turn up their nose. Is this a thing? Or was it isolated assholes? I don't mind saying 'progressive rock' to avoid being the nail that gets hammered down, but I'm just curious.

>>130818398Prog was the coolest music in the world for like 3 years, then it was the most uncool music in the world for 30 years, and now it's sort of cool again.
>>130818406no, I mean they specifically hated the work 'prog', like I wasn't giving respect to the name that was 'progressive rock'. They were like, 'don't call it prog', and treated me like a normalfag.
>>130818406>now it's sort of cool again.i assume you mean amongst ages 12-20, no one my age likes this stuff
I don't know which I like more, Wish You Were Here, or MeddleAs an album, I like Wish You Were Here better, but Meddle has Echoes and a track that features a dog as a guest vocalist. So I don't know.
>>130818446There actually was a few recorded cases in the 80s of some progressive rock musicians hating being called "prog" and making a distinction between progressive rock and "prog". Notably Ian Anderson.Apparently some people used "prog" shorthand derogatively to refer to the extremely campy, overblown, bombastic progressive rock that was ultimately meaningless self-indulgence.
>>130818780>80s70s***
>>130818780huh. I mean that is an explanation, but I don't know if culturally that is normal among the demographic, or is it? The dude that gave me issue was in a used record shop, I don't know if he worked there or not (I think he did, because I saw him there every time I was there). He was like 45ish. So not alive during the 70s.Regardless, before I really dived into prog/ressive rock, it felt like there was a pretentiousness to it. That may have been just me though. I'm glad I explored different artists in the genre, and want to experience more. >>130818456zoomers listening to progressive rock? I don't believe it. What age are you? You know, vaguely, if you're comfortable sharing.
>>130818952nta but i'm 20 and i listen to prog (less than i used to) and know other people my age who are hardcore into it.
>>130818303KANSAS STATVS: ACKNOWLEGED
>>130819157huh. pretty based I guess. I had to sift through some shit to find what I liked. So you could certainly do worse.I guess the question then becomes whether you can really truly experience an album without droping acid first.
Well, that settles it.
