NU-Prog....Muse,Radiohead et al...why the heck not?

Because neither Muse nor Radiohead sound anything like Limp Bizkuit or Linkin Park.Smile
 
I dont see the relevance of that statement. Nu Jazz bands dont sound like Limp Bizkit either...Confused
 
 


I don't think that there are many people who use the term "Nu Jazz" either. There are some (I found the wikipedia page), but in essence it simply means "New Jazz". The word "Nu" was first and foremost used for a particular style of metal in the 1990s ... of course you can simply define "Nu" as "1990s", I just don't see the point.
 
The point is Mike that you might not know many people who use that term yourself but, for example, Dick Heath who writes for Jazzwise magazine uses it....
 
...horses for courses and all that....I dont know many people who speak German, but I am damn sure there is at least 85 million people who do...Wink

I like the New Prog tag, it's useful when discussing Indie bands with Prog-ish moments and/or influences. I don't consider it a valid subgenre of Prog Rock however, because many of the bands that are commonly labelled New Prog are vastly different from each other and because most of them aren't really Prog Rock, even if they are influenced by it and incorporates Prog elements in their music.

In my opinion, New Prog is, just like Prog Rock was in the beginning, a kind of movement rather than a distinct style.

Its a proper word (seriously) and was much in use in the 19th century when Genesis released their debut album and the only death metal was the lead used to make pipes for their plumbing...Tongue

Yeah their first album was written in 1837, the same year that Steve Vai sold his soul to the devil...
 
 
 
Returning on-topic, there is nothing wrong with members of this site inventing new genres of prog...certianly if we are (to be the) NO1 prog site on the internet we should be leading the way, not self-conciously looking over opur shoulders at what others are doing and saying.
