"Progressive Punk", a new sub-genre on PA?

I agree "post-progressive" is the better term, because it's a little bit wider. If it were added (it won't be), I think it wouldn't bring in much influx of new groups, but rather, would be a place for certain bands mostly found in Crossover, Eclectic, and RIO/Avant to be reassigned to. It would also probably flourish a bit more if we added genres by album (another pipe dream, I know), since, for example, KC's 80s albums definitely fit the post-progressive description.

"Post-Progressive" makes me surely tremble because it sounds like the end of Progressive. So, already tactically speaking, it wouldn't be good in my opinion. Then, it looks like kind of a mess to me to bring a mix of all those different "subgenres". - Even I can see that this label is meant very broad, but that's a problem as well in my opinion because it doesn't say anything specific - except from "the end of Progressive". As far it concerns the idea of adding genres by album, like RYM does, I find it in it self really good. That's also the reason why I usually use RYM and not PA when I want some orientation about the classification of a band, and specially albums - even I often check both sites to get more opinions.

Not to offend any of you, guys, but "Pronk" seems to my ears and eyes like a kind of junk, not worth Prog.

I'd say prog punk personally, and I'm actually all for it. Yeah, I know the line is that 70s prog died because of punk, but there were a lot more factors that led to its demise back then. And considering we have stuff like art punk and mathcore now, I do support a prog-punk category for bands like At the Drive-in, Off Minor, and Cardiacs
