In Singapore, there are almost none listens to progressive rock.. From my survey, only 1.5% listens to prog rock and only 5% knows progressive rock exists in our population...

I have no idea about other countries but since Prog Rock fans are minorities, is it consider an underground act?

Of course it is. It is not really a widely known genre unless you were a music
fan in the 70s. The majority of people growing up today have no idea what
progressive rock is.

And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion

Yes, by definition.

For instance, only in a magazine catering to a highly specialized audience or hard-core music fans would come within a ten foot poll of actually reviewing "the latest prog release". Prog is 1000's of feet below pop culture radar.
