Youth now-a-days don't listen to prog because it requires thought, time, and attention
Most teens have little if any of such things

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

I'd say you're right and wrong. I'm 16 and I originally got into prog through prog metal, but now I don't even listen to it anymore. It's a good way for young people to discover prog, but once they do, I think most of the branch out into the other sub-genres like I did. Right now, I'm really loving post-rock as I continue to catch up on all the great symphonic prog from the 70's I missed out on.

I'm 18. But I have been into prog since junior high. It wasnt until recently that I found this site. As for my musical leanings, I consider myself a Syd Barrett fan primarily before my more progressive tastes.

It's sad to see people my age with such a pessimistic view of our peers. You listen to prog, I listen to prog, many of my friends listen to prog... the problem isn't that today's youth doesn't want to listen to prog, most people just haven't even heard of it. Of course, there will always be some people who don't like it, but in general, everyone I've introduced to prog has received it really well and wanted to hear more. Most people at my school listen to at least some interesting and/or complex music anyways, so prog is usually just what they're looking for.

19 here...

I entered prog some years ago by listening to metallica's S&M....
While i certainly like prog-metal i'd always choose symphonic rock over prog-metal...

I like prog being not mainstream. If so, quality would be outrun by quantity.

With my 41 years I feel old in the forum.

But when I go to concerts I feel like a kid

BTW: Another factor to have few older people posting is that you need to have time, so self employed or students are the most common people in forums.

 I'm 22.

 

I think it's very exciting to see such a young crowd (including myself) who take an interest in the music. I think the internet may bring about a "prog revival" in the younger generations. All it took for me was a listen to porcupine tree and a visit to prog archives for me to be totally hooked. Well, actually when I was fairly young, I was baptized by fire into prog. I can recall listening to king crimson (in the court & in the wake) as early as 8 years old.

i love this thread!!!

Im 23, and im a physical therapist in a humble hospital here in the philippines.  I first got into prog metal (rather than the yes, genesis type of thing...)and dream theater, symphony x, rush and queensryche was the intro band for me...

im so glad i discovered this site and found out that there are tons of other subgenres.

before my prog years (and counting!!!) i enjoyed funk, jazz, some old school heavy and hair metal bands (mr. big is my all time fave in this ), and mostly of robert smith's work..

coz of this site, i discovered King Crimson, Genesis, Porcupine tree, camel, mahavishnu, brand x, and loads of other really good prog music..

im really learning a lot from all of you guys here!!!
