You're not the youngest here, but there are many of a similar age to you. You've come home....

Get a lot of albums, and listen to a lot of prog sub-genres. 

Have an open mind and listen to genres and bands you would usually would never listen to. 

For instance, im not a metal head, but bought Devin Townsend's Synchestra  and love it.

Prog is not about how old you are in years.

Prog is about the music - if it moves you & you like it, listen often.

We are all learning & growing all the time. Hope you enjoy your trip through the site.
