Why is it with most teenagers nowadays? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Also, teenagers like to dance. If they can dance to something whilst being pissed up on some dodgy alcohol, they'll do it.

So naturally much pop music is suitable for this.

It's a known fact you cannot really dance to metal or prog or any form of music without much rhythm.

Try dancing to Rammstein... it's not easy!

Yes you can. But it looks stupid. LOL

Moshing always makes me giggle though.

Oh and guys like to play air guitar... not good if you're on the pull.

Well, yes, if melody is "gay" to you, I would say you're not likely to expand your musical horizons too much

What I've always found hilarious is that if they actually hated melody, they would be listening to Kevin Drumm, John Wiese, and Merzbow, not metal.

if you own a sodastream i hate you

They equate un-melody with distortion and growls, nothing more.

They cannot be frightened of something they've never even heard of though.

And how metal does Klaus Blasquiz in my signature look?

Mmm.

But I best not digress...

And here lies another question that I alluded to earlier....aren't we all just better off if they leave Magma to us?

He would make a fine Norwegian, grim, kvlt, frostbitten black metaller actually.

Needs more black and white face paint, and a wizard hat. Can't forget the wizard hat!

But then Rick Wakeman would feel naked.

So, did Magma in fact invent Black Metal? Shocked

...baaaaaaaack on topic.

I'm one month 18, and I can name probably only 1 or 2 kids in my class of 250 who like prog.

I'm more of a prog metalhead (moreso prog than metal), and I have had some success getting some metalhead friends to like some of my progressive stuff (and even then, I know very few people who like metal either, it's all pop, rap, hip-hop, techno, and modern alternative), but my metalhead friends still prefer the likes of bands like Cannibal Corpse, Slipknot, and the Devil Wears Prada Confused

Even though the stuff I listen to is not accessible at all, I still think I'm far more open minded than a lot of my peers. I tried to show one of my friends a Pain of Salvation song (he normally listens to rap and electro-pop) and he pulled out his earbuds after hearing the first two notes.

The other day, I was driving one friend to a party, and I was playing Close to the Edge. He ejected the disk after a minute, saying he didn't want to listen to "church music."

Of course, hardly anyone I know is as big into music as I am. I can't really blame them for not being as open if they really aren't too passionate about music, but I don't think it would hurt for them to broaden their horizons a bit.
