I'll take that as a no. It's in descending order. The ones at the top have the most fans and the ones at the bottom have the least(based on my observations of being a prog fan for over 30 years although this is how it currrently seems to sit).

I was teaching high school biology this year, and some of the students asked me "Who is your favorite band?"  I said "Yes," because that is the simplest & most accurate response. 

Within a few minutes, one of the lads had pulled up a YouTube video of "Close to the Edge" on his cell phone, and they dug it!  Very impressive for 16 year old kids!

At 60 years of age, it's good to know I'm at the top of the list for the appreciation of prog, although I'm surprised to see teens are only halfway down your list and not right at the bottom of the list. Smile

I hadn't noticed the apostrophe was in the wrong place until you mentioned it but it's not a catastrophe. Smile

Interesting. Do 50's people enjoy prog. My mum and dad are 50 and them and all their friends like old punk, new wave, radiohead smashing pumpkins, that type of stuff.

Well, it's because younger people tend to be more internet savy and because of that are more easily able to discover new music(new to them anyway). I could be a little off on that and they might be a little lower but for now I stand by it. Plus they have parents and even grandparents who might have been into prog.

In my opinion yes and definitely more than the other age groups(except for maybe sixties). Have you seen the prog fans in their 50's thread on here? It's very active. The 20's age group might be catching up though but this thread so far hasn't convinced me otherwise(since a lot of different ages are contributing here). But yeah a lot in that age group are into alternative, metal, classic rock and other stuff too. My brother is 52 now(53 in June)and I'm more into prog than he is(I'll be 50 in about three months). He's mostly into alternative especially the red hot chillipeppers. He is responsible for getting me into REM and some of those other kinds of bands and I took him to see U2 for his fiftieth birthday. I got into prog mostly on my own(although my cousin was a factor as was my dad's copy of the Yes album and a guitar book that mentioned Robert Fripp).

Not a bad assumption to be honest. I found Progressive Rock out completely by my own accord after wanting to hear more groovy synthesizer stuff. 

It's kinda weird, as a kid I hated all forms of rock except blink 182 and Linkin Park and I listened to lots of rap and hip hop because of my brothers. I discovered prog in 2013 and got more into musical theory in 2014 and started taking my organ/piano lessons seriously. 

These days I denounced genres that are harmonically simple, like most pop/rap/hiphop/EDM. I just don't like it. You won't catch me playing my organ without it plugged through Wah, Chorus and Fuzz. Thanks Emerson, Stewart and Ratledge.

I would call them observations more than assumptions. I haven't collected and gathered "scientific" data on the subject(not yet anyway)but my conclusions(and theories)are based on my many years of participating on online prog forums(such as this one)as well as online prog research in general as well as attending many prog festivals and concerts over the years. I put my age group towards the bottom because at almost all the prog concerts and festivals I have been to there were relatively few my age or around my age. Most were either a bit older or a bit younger. The most extreme example was Ozric Tentacles where most everyone was either 55 and over or in their early to mid twenties. It was almost as if a bunch of older guys brought their kids then separated once they got there. LOL

Well, it has been a while since I have posted on this site, but I am a 25 year old female and I am a huge prog fan. I have been really big into prog for probably the last 6 years or so. I love to collect vinyl and I have been slowly amassing my favorites. Phil Collins and Genesis were my gateway into the wonderful, weird world of prog and I have been a huge fan ever since. I honestly never heard of prog before until I read on wikipedia that Genesis were considered a progresssive rock band, so I told myself I needed to find out what this "progressive rock" was.

Now, that I have a vague notion on what this genre of music is because lets be honest, people are always arguing over what is and what isn't progressive rock. I especially love the symphonic side of prog but I have since gotten into the RPI genre, some zheul, some avant, some jazz fusion, neo, etc. Now my tastes are pretty eclectic.

So yes, there are definitely younger people who are into prog, however, I have to admit I haven't met many people my age who are such huge prog fans as I am. Sure people seem to like Rush and Pink Floyd but that is the extent of many peoples' knowledge of progressive rock.

Well, for the younger people anyway. I'm sure most people over 40 have at least heard of Yes, Genesis and Jethro Tull and if they are big music fans in general then probably King Crimson also.

It seems ironic that people in their 70's are right at the bottom of your list for the appreciation of prog when many prog musicians from the classic 1970's era are in their 70's now. Smile
