Neo-prog or just prog nowadays

   Are we still adding the neo when talking about current bands, who once played neo, considering that most of them have over the decades progressed far from neo?
For example, when I tell someone about Arena or Jadis I simply say "... they're a current UK prog band"
Because the neo doesn't signify anything anyway to people who know very little about prog genres, if anything at all, but who at least know what prog is.

In other words has neo outlived its usefullness?

As I write this, I am listening to The Unquiet Sky album (Arena)
