http:// - Any surprises? I'm surprised by a coincidence that many subgenres "tie" so to say: an equal number of Eclectic and Crossover bands, as well of Post/Math rock and Tech/Extreme Metal bands.

http:// -

http:// - I dare to say subgenres are populated more or less equally, on four levels:

http:// -

http:// - 1. Subgenre giants: Symphonic Prog (424), Prog Metal (narrowed) (411), Jazz Rock (378).

http:// -

http:// - At the current rate of addition, Prog Metal will probably kick Symphonic Prog off the trone in a few days. And that's only a subgenre of Prog Metal in narrower sense.

http:// -

http:// - 2. Indermediate populated prog subgenres level: Heavy prog (212), RPI (224), Avant prog (239), Prog Folk (257), Crossover (262), Eclectic (262), Psyche (284), Neo prog (287).

http:// -

http:// - Mostl likely Neo prog will increase even further due to widened definition of the subgenre.

http:// -

http:// - 3. Less populated Prog subgenres: Progressive electronic (133), Krautrock (144), Experimental/Post metal (153), Post/Math Rock (157), Tech/Extreme Metal (157), Prog Related (160).

http:// -

http:// - I guess both metal subgenres and post/math rock will contonue to significantly incrise. The position of Prog Related artists is interesting; too few, or too many?

http:// -

http:// - 4. "Dwarf" subgenres: Zeuhl (35), Indo Raga (37), Proto Prog (39), Canterbury (48).

http:// -

http:// - Each of those deserves more recognition. I thought Indo/Raga rock is the smallest category, but it turned out Zeuhl is. However, it seems Zeuhl have much more devotees.

http:// -

http:// - If we add all three Art Rock subcategories together, that's 736 artists. If we do the same with three Metal categories together, that's 721 artist. Wow. I really shoud check everything after a week or two to see the rate of growth. 

http:// -

http:// -

http:// - If we add post/rock to 721 metal artists that's 878 post-'90 artists and nobody can say prog is not alive and well nowadays! (this is a rough approximation based only on post-80's subgenres but it's enough to illustrate prog is far from being dead.)

http:// - Surprised? Shocked? Happy?
