No. I even foist my love for prog onto others, such as my dear wife (she calls it "guy music").
Here, she is obviously hating our meeting with Yes backstage (Chicago, 30th Anniversary show). |

Why would anyone have to hide liking prog? It has the beautiful quality of hiding itself. Either you understand it and like or others think it sounds like noise.
Now hiding the most extreme forms of metal and other caustic forms of music i could understand

It´s still not very cool to like prog in certain music listeners groups. Also, in the end of seventies and begin of eighties no-one in the record companies and music magazines didn´t want to hear anything about prog. They think it was so out of date that time.

Hide from who?
My circle is very narrow. my wife and my daughter. My wife dont care much about prog. and my daughter prefer cartoon tunes. If there would be cartoon with prog music, she would like it. Edited by awaken77 - January 04 2018 at 08:40 |

Never. But to the ‘regular folk’ if you will ; trying to explain it is like flogging a dead horse. I think they’re missing out.

In the UK this carried on throughout the eighties and into the nineties. Saying you liked prog wild get you looked at with pitying scorn at best, and in certain 'hip' circles it would have been the next thing to admitting you were into necrophilia. Actually in some of those circles it may have been viewed as worse And this is a worldview that is still held by many fiftysomething and sixtysomething British trendies - greying now but still possessed of their youthful certainties - for whom “I hate prog” is one of the eternal verities.

Only when I think the person won't know what the hell I'm going on about. Still, the reaction is often something like, "Oh, with the flutes, am I right?"

Still, these days, I can’t believe how difficult it is in explaining what Prog-Rock is actually about .....? |

Rock culture is not what it used to be. I mean Tull and Yes and ELP were popular, even chart-topping. A grand and glorious time.

One of my friends said to me "I need to take drugs if will ever understand this". Recommend him Union live.

Nope, I'm proud of the fact that I think I'm more intelligent than the millions of modern pop music lovers out there demonstrated by the fact that my ears prefer stimulation to brain melting cr@p.
