What makes people find Prog boring?

people who tend to use the word "boring" often, ought to look up thesaurus alternatives to express themselves.

"Life Sucks and then you die - Stoner"  obviously I'll opt for a more less morbid and happier outlook to life

I'm sure everyone has witnessed an appreciative crowd at a live gig getting excited over a song everyone has heard numerous times for years. That means the unfamiliar is boring to them, and they are groaning 30 seconds into a song. I honestly don't know how any of them come to like any new music. GregW, I tend to disagree with your hypothesis I too have a short attention span however prog genre keeps me entertained, focused and interested (depending on the band of course, considering that prog music has a vast number of genres) Hug I have a short attention span too, and that's why I like ever changing music like prog. Steve, aaahh  you are most awesome! yep yes ahum si sim da ja oui  Enough with the "Emoticons" already. I'm getting sick!   Rednight, instead of being a moody just ignore them. The smileys are here for purpose and here to stay. If I make you nausea it's your fault, turn away and you'll be fine!

Having a good day! But wait. Emoticons winking, smiling, hugging. Feeling like a "moody" and losing the capacity to ignore. What purpose do Emoticons serve, and will they be here long? "Nausea" and can't find fault as to why. Fear turning away will bring more Emoticons. Again, getting sicker. Help, please!

And you need to take a nap.

A hug?

Oh, get away (while I run for 'z hills).

It's because theres nothing that can pull the new listener in unlike a pop song, it doesn't have that "hook"
so they end up loosing focus.

I'm a huge prog head I find theres a lot of prog songs I have to listen to few times before I can really get it.

You could even sum it as 'its a bit weird' and not 'cool'. I get fed up with the idea that soap operas on TV are proper dramas. They are not and most music is not proper music its just some manufactured nonsense that conforms to some stupid idea of what is current and trendy. The world is a stupid place and we all know it!
