What is so wrong with Prog metal

I think people are forgetting that music is entirely based upon taste, a very important point especially in a genre as diverse as prog. In fact, progressive music is not a style of music rather an approach to music even if there are particular sounds we define as "prog." Prog metal is simply another evolution of prog, for better or worse, that stands as a testament to the power of progressive music. There is certainly something for everyone. Prog metal may be your cup of tea, and maybe it isn't. But don't attack the merit of a type of music simply because you don't like it. As purists we all fall into the trap of degrading another style of music that does not fit our particular tastes. After all, we all listen to prog because we like a little diversity from the standard pop radio mass produced sound. Does that mean that music on the radio is bad? Absolutely not. If it were such "bad" music it would not have such a large audience. I personally don't care for pop music, but that is my personal taste. Prog metal can come off as to aggressive and technically oriented to some "prog-snobs" and that's okay. Some people like the sound, others don't. And attacking Dream Theater for being too technical? One could pose the same argument for the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Like the sound or hate it, it doesn't matter. What does matter is that we respect each others musical tastes even if it does not conform with our idea of "prog" or "good music". All of these groups are here because enough people consider them progressive but more importantly people like them. We could give 100 different definitions of prog, all correct, but each an individual definition within the broad scope. All I am saying is respect the music and the opinions of others. That said, you don't have to like it.
