What makes people find Prog boring?

If a boring person is to suggest to the others to listening to prog, it could be a big chance that they will find the prog "boring".

I've already told you that you never be able to provoke me. So it's useless to bother yourself with these attempts. But okay, let's people see your true nature.

No-one wants to provoke you, they would rather sedate and banish you all said and done. My true nature is not manifest in wasting valuable genre teams time in appraising spurious Prog recommendations from a deluded and manic compulsive spammer like you. Future posters will mourn your demise in the fullness of wasted time. I can wait.

I find those last exchanges boring.

Same reason that people find classical or jazz boring.  Complex, long-winded musical ideas that take time to develop and focus and concentration to appreciate.

That which is not immediately accessible forces you to choose whether you would be willing to invest time in seeing whether there's a likely pleasure payoff in the indeterminate future.

This constant Svetonio-sniping is more boring than any prog album or track. As soon as the guy posts anything in any thread (regardless of what he says) the responses from certain senior members immediately jump off topic to launch personal attacks. And some people say that he is a troll!!! The hypocrisy is staggering.

And why haven't we discussed the logical next step which solves the problem: how can we make people interested in prog? That's what I'm trying to figure out for a long time, but there are some things I've learned.

When you put on music like "I'll play you a song I like a lot" it doesn't come from themselves and it almost becomes an obligated action, though music should be what you want to hear yourself.

I've heard many times the same things which are of course things you'll be able to name, but you can anticipate very well. I thought Firth of Fifth would be not too long, it has a lot of energy and emotion in it and it starts out not too off the map. Though it was just refused with the ease and quickness of an eyeblink...

It's very hard to make people listen to prog out of their own, but luckily we have very popular bands who are found legends by many many people and also have albums which are pop/rocky and easy to get into. I.e. Pink Floyd - The Division Bell has tracks like High Hopes and Marooned which a lot of pop-used-ears could appreciate.
Just say something like this: "Wouldn't you like something a little different than every single song based upon just a simple verse-chorus form?".

^Maybe that should be another thread. FYI, I've already met a lot of resistance from PA members who think people like what they like and that's all that they like. As opposed to like and dislike being in some significant measure a product of cultural influence, as I would expect.
