I think young people goes mainly to prog-metal. Or am I wrong?

     That's true that a lot of younger people here mention having first heard it in their dad's collection. I play it around my kids a lot, and they bop their heads to it, but mainly consume 50 Cents and commercial hip hop, because that's what their friends are into...most people start listening to music to belong to a peer group. Kids into prog show intelligence, in that it's not pushed as cool in the media or by their friends. I'm 47 by the way.

That is certanly true for me (33yo). I have brothers 12-16 years older. When I was 16 and listened to GG, Genesis and Yes, people said that prog is dead, you were born ten years to late ;)

Prog fans are like jazz fans... one will find them at every ages but it is obvious that those that were teen-agers during the 70s were more exposed to prog in the media and acquired a taste for the style.

IMO, the great majority of people under 35 that are interested in prog were influenced by older relatives or friends or even parents.

Im not suprissed most of "older people" don't use Internet I think that is true reason.

Internet use may well be a factor, I guess. More young people use the web than older. But where would they have heard prog rock in the first place? What would lead a teenager to investigate prog on the web?
