Is "Progressive" a genre in and of itself, is it a good word to describe some element previously unheard in some other currently existing genre, or does it have to be something fresh and original to earn the label?
It's been a long time since I've heard new music that I would call fresh and original. Not because it doesn't exist, but because I'm not really looking much anymore, and have no clue at all about what today's "Progressive" is.
Is Prog Metal the new Cock Rock? Probably not imho. Music just doesn't work like it did back then, with one trend/style killing off any widespread popularity held by what came before it as it takes it's place. The market, and people's tastes are so much more diverse now days, where even the most casual listeners have access to so much more than what the industry says is the next big thing.
