Prog and the younger generation

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm sure many young people would like prog if they'd just know about it. I'm 14 and a huge fan of Genesis. There was a music lesson at school when everyone had to bring their current favourite song and the others would rate it. I brought "Dancing with the moonlit knight" (on LP) and it was a great success. It went #2.

	I'm a 'young people' and I love Prog! I've gotten my best friend into it as well, so there are two youthful fans of the genre right there. My ex-girlfriend only like one album by Pink Floyd (Animals even put her to sleep!), so I can see where the topic starter is coming from, but honestly, there are plenty of young people who are into this, it's just that they are spread apart susually. You'll be hard pressed to find ten dedicate prog fans in one town, yet you can probably count thousands across the country. Alot of young people like Prog and don't even know it, as well. I was one of those people, and had it not been for this site, I may still not be as into it as I am now.

	^ hehe you joined on my bday :P I'm a "young adult" per say also and there are plenty of others like myself who are prog rock fans. Admittedly it's not the norm, as rap and emo crap seem to take over the charts and airplay.

	^ hehe you joined today :P Seriousely, though, I know what you mean. On the whole, people my age are listening to trash, but the select few who know what good music is always find themselves eventually. Hell, look at this website. Who knew so many people shared the love for a long-dead fad that happened in the 70s? I sure didn't.
