My progress:
Before 16 no music at all (my geek era, where I was a bookworm and a good kid) 
After 16
hard rock>>metal>>progressive metal>>neo-prog>>no music>>70s prog>>???
and yea it was after 18.
Always thinking in extremes.That's my way to beat boredom.

Nowadays it's quite hard for the young to get into prog, and prog metal is a good way to do it. I actually started with DT, like many others i suppose

Are you sure I don't need it? I'm starting to warm to the idea of injecting fat from my buttocks into my face... 

Oh wait, no I'm not LOL

I am 25, going on 26 and today someone told me that I look very mature. Like I am around 31 years old 

The thing is that I've been told this since I was 18 years old. Someone told me that I looked 30 then 

Now that I am almost 26 I've been told that I look 31 years old..what is the extra year for? 

It pretty much ruined my day. And how old I look has always been an insecurity of mine since the first time I've been told this when I was 18. 

Also I've been told a few times that I look younger than what I am. So I don't know what to believe or whether all the efforts I use to keep myself looking young is worth it. Aging is just a biological process that is going to happen whether you can fight it or not 

Or maybe it's just my bone structure, and my body type that makes me look mature... 

I'm very insecure about this especially since I am still in college and see girls who are 19 and look it too. When I do turn 30 how old will I look then? 35-40? 

i am considering getting fat injected into my face since I don't have much which makes my face look mature

That's a rather paradoxical statement...

I'm 16 and Prog-Metal is really the only sub genre I haven't gotten into. I love Psychedelic variants of prog the most, or really anything that's enjoyable to visualize.

Wow. That's interesting.

But seriously, music released after 1990 is dead to me, because its degenerate. Alternative Rock is a disease.

I like your sarcasm Big smile.

Dear got please tell me that was sarcasm.

Afraid not. RoyFairbank has expressed his Walteresque opinions before. 
New album!

I second this hope.


It doesn't matter. To actually DESPISE any genre of music is the most ignorant and close-minded view a listener can have.

I like prog rock and metal but don't really like metal with growls. I also listen to fusion etc. so I'm definitely not just into prog metal.
