An attempt to simplify the spelling of prog genre names. These are merely first draft and further improvement is encouraged and appreciated.
Crossover Prog -> Crog
Progressive Death Metal -> Progdeath, Progdetal, nickname: Opdeath
Avant-garde Black Metal -> Avanblack, Avanblackal
Progressive Metal -> Pretal, nickname: Protty (should be "Pretty" but that's already a word, so....)
Symphonic Metal -> Symetal
Symphonic Prog -> Symphrog, Symg, nickname: Symphy. Symphia
Post-Rock -> Prock, nickname: Sugar Rock (because Sigur Ros is the most famous post-rock band)
Math-Rock -> Mrock, nickname: Spidey
Psychedelic Rock nickname: Syke, Sykael (although Mikael is not in this genre)
Progressive Folk nickname: Froggie, The Notorious F.R.O.G.Sleepy

Perhaps you could spend your time listening to music rather than sub-sub-sub-labelling it.
