Usually proggers are thinkers, "stonerds", smart, lived in the 70s or musicians.

- Pre-Raphalites: Please, can someone tell me a most unfashinable pictorial school nowadays?

- Fantasy: This is one of a hell o a cynical era. Fantasy worshippers must take shelter in the company of nerds... because we are usually nerds.

At least, I usually like mainstream movies above all... what makes me a social outcast in my work, a tv channel full of people with a taste for terrible irani films about people doing nothing...

You know what? You've found a kindred soul here (must be the Latin blood, as I'm Italian...). I wouldn't go so far as to say I feel a social outcast (I usually don't bother with such labels), but I know my tastes in music, art and literature are unconventional. BTW, I LOVE the Pre-Raphaelites and all kinds of non-realistic literature (fantasy, gothic, fairytales and the lot - I'm a Tolkien scholar as well), and of course I'm a prog nut, otherwise I wouldn't be here!

All of the above choice except for the last one

 

segmented, with lateral fins and prehensile appendages........WTF?????
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I voted for the just a bunch option, but if some psycho-therapist would analyse me, he would soon discover some very snobistic thoughts. And suddenly I would jump up from the sofa and shout: my taste in music is flawless! It is SO much better than yours!

Stoners and nerds - surely I'm not the only one?

A mixture of everything except the stoner thing for me. 

Then again, I got a terrible headache after not drinking tea in two days, and it laste for a day and a half, until I cooked a pot, and then everything just felt AWESOME. So, maybe the stoner bit, too. I should stop drinking those three litres a day...

 But, in general, I'd say that proggers are more pretentious than the average music fan. So I voted for no. 1, since I thought it was the most significant.
