You can invent all sub genres and categories you want, there's not the smallest progressive element in all that.
This is just garbage teenage music, IMO!


    

i don't know if you say that for my post but all i did was to name the metal genres IMO and give an example.. i don't think that those are prog either...just metal...

as far as "garbage teenage music" is concerned, i respect your opinion but you should listen to Savatage or Fates and a few other hundreds of metal bands and maybe you changed your mind...

Heavy Metal is derived from Heavy Rock, a hybrid of electrified Rock and Blues. Prog metal is a vary recent form of metal to my ears, though many metal "genres" are over-complicated since most bands can be associated with many categories not just one.......
 
f'rinstance....Iron Maiden   -  NWOBHM, Heavy metal, power metal, hair metal, stadium rock, goth metal, thrash metal, Prog metal..?????
 
..BTW that's naughty Oliver saying metal is garbage teenage music - early rock'n'roll and jazz was thus judged once upon a time you know! you sound like my dad god rest his soul.

Yep, Kayo Dot and Spastic Ink are the definition of "garbage teenage music".  It's a good thing somebody here knows what they're talking about.

progressive music has to do with informality, abstraction, gradual process or changeable harmonic expressions. The sources come from "concepts" which emerged outside of popular music; coming from avant garde, classical music and non-western music. I see this genre as abstract expressionism or music for the brain...none metal pigheads can pretend to reach this musical aesthetic.

Sorry, guys, this discussion has become abusive once again, so I think it would be better to close it for the time being, until tempers have cooled again.

It really seems some people never learn...Unhappy
