Well, I'm sorry to say that, but the average prog fan doesn't seem to be really open-minded, at least musically. About being better educated, it may be true though, although I think it also has to do with being a musician sometimes. Many musicians are attracted by the prog genre, especially the technical subgenres (prog metal, fusionish prog, etc...)

I think prog fans are less open minded towards music because a lot of that music sucks. Fair enough?



It's the same guy. Great minds think alike.

Many non-prog fans listen to Vangelis.

I would think that in general we are better educated and open minded about things in  than your average top forty music listener. And, as I've mentioned before and I speak for myself here I am proudly crazy. My wife, her friends, my friends, relatives as well as my dogs think I am stark raving mad. I mean how many people out there actually love Beaubourg by Vangelis?

If you go to a punk music festival, you'll surely see strange hairs and clothes, piercings, etc. The same thing with gothic, heavy metal, etc... And what about prog lovers? Is there any way to categorize our lifestyle? Are we more serious or introspective, is our behaviour ever right, are we most refined, are we bored people, are we living in the past, are we CRAZY???
