New Prog?

I think the term 'Prog Related' is good enough to describe bands like Muse and Coheed & Cambria. I see no need for yet another category.

Utter balls. Let's hope the mainstream music journalists don't ever latch onto the term as it could have disasterous repurcussions. It really does seem as though any rock band with the presence of mind to compose a song or two in something other than 4/4 immediately have the term 'prog' thrust upon them, usually with ridiculous qualifiers to absolve and apologise for using the word at all.

I'm usually in favour of wikipedia and I don't like to see articles getting pulled on a whim (an article on the artistic group Post-NeoAbsurdism, in which I am heavily involved got removed in less than twenty-four hours due to apparently being 'made up'!) but this is just an utterly pointless, factually inept attempt to classify a bunch of barely progressive rock groups as prog, for reasons I shall never truly fathom.

Glancing over the article, which hardly includes enough info to really be more than a little stub of an idea, I think I understand where they are getting at, but honestly I think a better descriptor for this "genre" would be Diluted Alterna-prog. PRR are about as prog as DSOTM era Floyd, which is to say not much, but one can see why it's included with Prog. I imagine dredg is in this "genre" as well, but I don't think, by PA's standards, they're beyond Prog Related--meaning essentially interesting alternative rock, with maybe a concept and some time shifts.
