Any other 20s aged female prog lovers besides me? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I am in my twenties, female, and my whole life I have listened to rock, with a particular love for 90's alternative & grunge, and the beloved progressive rock.

But young females interested in prog seem hard to find? I've never had a friend to share my love of prog.. My parents go very hard in the scene, I've attended countless shows since birth, even the very last Nearfest etc. It flows through my blood at this point. Unfortunately, almost no one else young around me seems to have any interest or they don't understand it.

Prog Favorites include:
King Crimson
Anathema
Phideax
Renaissance
Porcupine Tree or most of Steven Wilsons work
Peter Gabriel
Consider the Source
Shoutout to Mattias for Anglagard and Necromonkey

Plenty more beyond

Welcome to the forums! I'm 19 and non-binary and also love both alternative rock and prog rock.

I listen to most of the artists on your list but the ones that I absolutely love are King Crimson and Porcupine Tree. Anathema's We're Here Because We're Here and Renaissance's Scheherazade are also favorites of mine, as is some of Peter Gabriel's work.

I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!

^ I was gonna say, that's incredible. And you're right Jose, 180 is a bit too old for a girl in her twenties.

LOL my poor english failed me miserably - I meant to say he turned around 180 degrees from his past musical tastes, and the sentence came out totally equivocal - sorry for the false alarm LOL

Welcome to the forums....My son is mid-20's and also enjoys the depth of music that you do. You will not find a majority of people in your age group who do, but they are out there. Just listen to who you want and who you find compelling. You will eventually find others who do, too, this was a pretty smart choice of a place to ask. And kudos to you for following your ears and not those of the crowd.

Welcome aboard!

My 26 year old daughter is a Big prog fan, particularly the avant, I may be to blame, she's been to Nearfest, ProgDay and RIO and a bunch of concerts. The artist Emme Phyzema on here is a 20 something female artist from Ohio, met her at last years RIO where she was there as a fan. Checkout her music on bandcamp, good stuff.

The owner of this blog is a Dutch woman in her 20's, and a huge prog fan (though she likes stuff I don't particularly care for: https://notyourtypicaldutch.wordpress.com/

She is Dutch, but lives in Milwaukee. I am sure she is also a member here, I don't think she's been around lately. She's on Facebook though, in case you want to contact her there. Unfortunately, though I am a woman, I could easily be your mother Wink

. Female prog fans are rare, but young female prog fans are almost non-existent. Anyway, since you're from Maryland, you could do worse than visit the legendary Orion Studios when they resume their prog showcases in the fall.

20s aged female prog lovers are a rare species. My daughter, who is spending her last days before going 24, sticks at a certain distance: she likes the Beatles and Muse.

She has turned 30 recently. She has launched a few blogs here on PA some years ago. Her greatest exploit I remember was a 100-minute interview with Big Big Train's David Longdon.
