The classic era of prog is "almost over" ? It's been over since 1981. You, Billy, of all people should know that. |

I was born in 1996 so I'm de facto a Gen Z-er. I was not around yet when the classic era of prog happened. I got to know the music thanks to the internet actually. But still, the 70's sound itself, that is the unmistakable never again replicated drum sound, the analog keyboards, the specific mixing techniques all give me an acquired nostalgia after all. It's not a real nostalgia, but for some reason that music connects with my deepest feelings like nothing else.

^Hello, Young prog fan here, my line to my dad is, 'you were born to see all the cool bands play and release music, I was born just in time to watch them get old and die'
NOT to say there isn't great music being made now, but the greatest prog was made in the 70s. (Just look at the top albums list) |

Whenever I listen to late 70s prog, a sense of sadness comes over me, because I know the classic era of prog is almost over. I don't exactly feel like I was "born in the wrong generation". But I feel wistful, knowing I'll never get to see any of my favorite bands perform, at least not in their prime. Something like a medieval peasant looking at the ruins of ancient Rome. I think late 70s prog, especially Genesis from this period, has a sort of sadness to it anyway but it could be my bias.
