what is prog?

Yes. 

It has multiple definitions:

1. Forward-thinking, rock-based music
2. A term to describe bands who work within the styles of of the bands in definition 1, without necessarily progressing things themselves

it's really about as simples as that.

Prog is a pretty little flower that smells really bad.

My answer is simple: Prog=Art. Other music is just music, and prog is not music, is art.

weird music made by and for weird people.

And when did you become a PR!? I should start writing more reviews, I'm starting to feel left out...   These threads never go anywhere, ever.

You know you love these threads.

Rule #1: You DON't talk about prog (with common street-folk)

it rhymes with frog.
