In your opinion what are six words (or less) you might use to describe prog.These words don't always have to apply to prog but they can. Here's my list:
1. Unconventional 2. Adventurous 3. Mesmerizing 4. Complex 5. Sophisticated 6. Epic Edited by AFlowerKingCrimson - July 16 2025 at 10:58 |

Well, if you don't want to participate you don't have to. This was supposed to be just for fun and not to be taken too seriously. However, the supercalifragil thing might be stretching the boundaries of not taking it too seriously.  Edited by AFlowerKingCrimson - July 16 2025 at 14:10 |

I agree but the problem is pretentious and indulgent are often used as insults (at least by the critics). Edited by AFlowerKingCrimson - July 20 2025 at 15:23 |

Non-commercial.
This was how I thought about the music I listened to before I was aware of the term "progressive rock" or "art rock". |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.
