What Music Genre is the opposite of Prog Rock?

Textbook wrote: You are knocking punk when you say "unimaginative lyrics". It also suggests you haven't really listened to punk as a big part of the point was that these types of lyrics had never really been sung before so they were anything but unimaginative. Try The Dead Kennedys or Minor Threat for a start off.   And seriously, it's pub rock, end of discussion. Folk and punk and hip-hop require some degree of inventiveness to be considered good/great. With pub rock as in Status Quo or AC/DC it's sort of the POINT that you not do anything interesting.

Hi,

I suppose it's either prog paper or prog scissor.

I would have to say "Drone Doom"

^ It's literally one, unaccompanied voice singing a simple melody (or many voices singing the same melody). And this melody isn't even complex enough to be a major or minor scale; it's a mode (only uses white notes on a piano) and generally only moves in single steps (so no semitones and no big leaps). The only thing complex about it is the fact they're singing in Latin.......

I second the Asian music thing.

I lived in China for years and whatever the opposite of prog is, it's what they listen to. You think American teenagers are bad you ain't seen nothing yet. Imagine a world where Westlife is considered cutting edge visionary brilliance.

Look there! Another Magma basher
Really, ancient tribal rhythms can be so prog!
