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

 

I think that the punk and prog aspects of the music of Cardiacs is somewhat heterogenous. However, there is also what I think of as "carnival music" which could be what a homogeneous combination of punk and prog sounds like.

 

But I think that if homogeneity is not a requirement, any two or more genres of music can be combined. It is only homogeneity that prevents mutually exclusive genres from being combined.

It is a term used but not in the way you would expect.

Prog isn't nearly as adaptable as metal. At this point metal has probably hybridized with more genres than prog and metal is still growing at exponential rates WITH prog thus making prog metal the current champion of both prog AND metal. Unfortunately socialism always fails with dictatorships so it seems that prog and metal will outlast any political system!

Well, there are certainly some pluses connected with doing it, both for the musicians and fans/aficionados. And people have different approach to the music they listen to, for some is it very giving to analyze it, for others not.

Sorry, tszirmay, but that doesn't seem to have much depth, as it's very very subjective, and what if somebody just don't know what Prog is considered to be?

So, do you mean that in some cases it's best without trying any description whatever there might be a need for it?

- But I guess that I only can say again: People have different needs, it's as simple as that, and as long as we don't bother each other, it should be okay.
