I am at present sixteen years old and my favorite guitarist is Alex Lifeson. I also love the sounds of Nurcery Cryme and Mirage by Camel. I own a copy of Mirage, the Six Wives of Henry VIII, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer's debut.

I'm 15 i just saw ASIA with all its original members Carl palmer had a drum solo that shook the room and watching Steve Howe play acoustic is too cool. Also, John Wetton's voice hasn't changed

I'm 18, and I've been listening to prog rock (starting out with Genesis, Yes, Floyd and King Crimson) since I was 10. I guess it's easier for some to connect to this genre via metal, however, I don't like metal Ouch.

I'm 17 and initally a classic rock and punk rock fan. the ultimate band for me is The Who and always will be. but they brought me to bands like pink floyd, genesis, gentle giant, frank zappa. but i still get as much a kick out of them as the clash the stooges and the ramones. bands like The Flaming Lips today are a combo of the prog and punk i love. i guess i'm not into a specific genre, it's just powerful music

I'm now retired, so I can genuinely claim to be an old fart.
I do a prog. show on my local F.M. station & my demographic is 14 to 27yr age group, which is exactly as it should be.
As people get older they become ( in most cases )more conservative, give- in to social pressures & are quick to give up independent thought for dogma. It is your generation who, in the future, will determine the future of the genre. I am confident that it is in good hands

Not even Alice in Chains (ok, I know that's not universally considered metal, but they certainly owe a lot to metal, stylistically)?  They may not be 'nuanced' or 'dynamic' but they have so much power, their music is so gripping.  And how about Pain of Salvation?  Not trying to contest your statement because it's just your (or my) opinion anyway, just throwing some names out there.
I've yet to check out what this whole Alice in Chains business is all about. I've only heard a few songs from their work. As for Pain of Salvation, ... from what I've heard, ... I'm gonna have to check out Daniel's lyrics.

Dirt, for Alice in Chains.  For Pain of Salvation...I liked Perfect Element but any of the first few albums could be a good place to start.

Turned eighteen this November.
And now that I think about it, most of the metal bands I like are more fusion than metal (Animals as Leaders for example). I do like other non-jazzy metal bands, but only I'm not all that into those bands. Also generally prefer classic prog over new stuff, unless it's instrumental new prog.

Also discovering that prog bands my age group generally likes (Dream Theater, Opeth) I tend to avoid.

After about 3 years on this site, I'm officially turning 18 on January 6th. Wooo!!!

What I listen to, hmm... After 3 years on this site, you learn to love every type of prog.

I suppose I'm against the 18 year-old stereotype since the most recent bands I enjoy are DT and, well, never could get into the screaming vocals of Opeth. A boundary I still can't cross. First prog band and album (first album I truly enjoyed); Genesis and The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway.

I'm 17, at first I started out with classic rock or prog crossover bands (like Led zeppelin, Styx, Heart) but once I heard Yes, Kansas, Genesis, it makes them all look like amateurs. I still respect what the mainstream rockers did, but it makes me laugh at how primitive they look when compared to say Yes.

OK. So I'm 21 now but I was 18 when I joined PA. The first gig that I saw was on Yes' 35th anniversary tour. I was 13 by a week or two at the time. I also saw Rush and Wishbone Ash later in that year. A girl I met on an art course in college who is 3 years younger than I confessed to being a big early Genesis fan and also Supertramp. Another guy I know, who I presume is the same age as me is a huge Floyd and Rush fan, so much so that he has his arms covered in tattoos of both bands.
The most do just want prog metal though.

Im 21 and most of the music I listen too is jazz, mostly bebop.
If it wasn't for jazz fusion I would have never met prog. I think prog metal is a little too cliché.

Actually, Dream Theater was the band that got me into prog in the first place, and that was when I was around 19-20 (I'm 23 now). However, I'm very picky when it comes to metal, and Dream Theater and Iron Maiden are the only ones I enjoy anymore. Metal was a short phase for me. Over the past couple years I've completely shifted interests, and have gotten into the big prog bands, as well as jam bands.

I guess I don't find it surprising that the younger generation would be more interested in prog metal over prog rock. I'm actually more astounded for those of you who the opposite are true.

I'm under 18, and prog metal is the only prog i like.  I have heard many un-metal  bands, and I do not particularly enjoy any of them.  So, I guess that makes me a stupid punk kid.

I didn't start with prog metal. I'm only starting to listen to prog metal. I started off with ELP, King Crimson, Genesis, and Yes, and then went into more obscure artists.
