Why is proggressive rock so disgustingly WHITE?

>Hated, dated, sonically superannuated … One could enjoy prog ironically, I suppose—listen to it with a drooping and decadent ear, getting off on the fabulous obsolescence, etc.

Why can't you people listen to something less complicated and more diverse? Why won't white music just die?

Because there is no nigger equivalent of Mozart.

This is a psy-op
Liberals want white right wingers to listen to disgusting crap that is prog rock, rather than based music genres like classical, folk, early 20th music, etc

>Sup Forums circlejerks over King Crimson
Are they /ourboard/?

metal is the only way

even the way it song is powerful and domineering

>Listening to anything but glam rock
Off yourself

>The Whitest Music Ever

Anyone who speaks in this manner should be strung up and given a blood eagle execution, and subsequently flayed alive for the remainder of their life.

>innovative
>white

Go figure.

>1337
Indeed

THE WHITE ALBUM IS THE WHITEST ALBUM EVER

>tfw you realise many were directly inspired by Indian Classical, black rock and roll and black funk, jazz and blues.

But muh appropriation

Are they referring to Dream Theater? Muse? Periphery? What's the most popular band of this scene they're referring to? Surely it's better than the OOGA BOOGA NIGGUH NIGGUH beats people are listening to now.

Tool is prog rock, just so you know.

Whats some more essential whitest music ever?

>not listening to Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Queensryche, Yngwie, Helloween, Dream Theater, later Avenged Sevenfold, etc.

Btw Tool sucks.

The author confirmed for no musical taste, he repeatedly states he likes punk throughout the article. Nothing to see here really, just another shit taste punk rock faggot.

Classic 70s prog. King Crimson, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd.

>later avenged sevenfold
>tool is shit

I got news for you bud...

>anything with Maynard
>sucks

Reddit please.

youtube.com/watch?v=DBrkbJhC4hk
Only Iron Maiden is good, the rest are mediocre, stop being a pleb.
Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Rush, and also Jethro Tull and Pink Floyd are prog-ish.

Prog has been my favorite genre for over 2 decades. Feels good being white.

Who were also really white! Fuck this guy.

I should just off myself.

This burger speaks the truth.

Every time these idiots write articles like this, all it does is serve as a reminder to me that I have made good decisions throughout my life, despite living in a world that scorns and hates me. My continued existance is a giant middle finger to these people. We are a splinter in their minds, driving them mad. Soon they will overstep their bounds, and this will all come crashing down. I can't wait.

Until then, I'll just have to be happy with what I have to be happy with.

Feels good, man.

youtube.com/watch?v=nrNcmFOY9BA
Reminder to support Dream Machine

Tool, Iron Maiden, Judas Preist are good.

The rest....not so much

Power Metal is the huWhitest music genre in the world. Fight me.

>Tool
Makes me think...

The butthurt about prog never ceases to amaze me. 40 years ago a small number of rock bands came along who could actually play their instruments or had lyrics about something other than relationships and (((critics))) have been pissy about it ever since.

Finally Van der Graaf Generator. Was getting sick of the In the Court of the Crimson King circlejerk.

Doctor Doctor, give me the news faggot

You guys have shit taste. Tool is unlistenable garbage except for "Sober" and APC's cover of "Imagine". That's Keenan's only decent shit. Completely overrated turds that people listen to when they're just starting to listen to shit that isn't Five Finger Death Punch

For what rag was this written?

Reminder that prog rock does not promote degenerate behavior like free love or drug use, and members of the scene never died at young ages. In fact, it's been known to produce some Christians like Rick Wakeman, Kerry Minnear (Gentle Giant) and possibly Mark Hollis (Talk Talk). The voices pushing back against were the likes of cuckboy Robert Christgau and gay Jew (((Jann Wenner))) of Rolling Stone.

The early stages of punk rock is basically nigger tier music pushed out by kikes. Just check out some of those lineups:

Ramones, (((Joey))) and (((Tommy Ramone))), manager: (((Danny Fields))), (((Sire Records)))
The Clash: (((Joe Strummer))), (((Mick Jones))), manager: (((Bernie Rhodes)))
Sex Pistols, manager: (((Malcolm McLaren))) and forever associated with the death of degenerate Jewess (((Nancy Spungen))).
The Dictators: (((Handsome Dick Manitoba))), (((Andy Shernoff))) and (((Mark Mendoza)))
Prog-ish? Those are all unquestionably prog.
Not appropriating is a sign of disrespect. So there's no winning.

Really?

I can't read shit like this anymore. I've reached my lifetime limit of being attacked for merely being white.

I will drive my head through a brick wall if I read one more wannabe faggot falaciate the media Jew.

>prog rock is bad

Fucking plebeians.

Power metal is gay shit

Mention Nickelback around normalfaggots, and you will likely trigger an involuntary reflex that has been planted in their minds by the (((media))).

>They SUCK!
>All their songs sound the same!

But why? Why has Nickelback been targeted for such hatred? It's because they're 4 white males that promoted traditional values through their music. Now, I could just claim this, or I could give you evidence. Here are their first 3 singles from their debut album, 'Silver Side Up':

>'How You Remind Me': youtube.com/watch?v=1cQh1ccqu8M

The number one most played song on U.S. radio of the 2000s. Literally a song about a guy rejecting an unfaithful girlfriend when she crawls back to him.

>'Too Bad': youtube.com/watch?v=3E7_8FWqY9o

Deals with the issues of growing up without a father. Spent 32 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Rock charts.

>'Never Again': youtube.com/watch?v=EbFh1gyuVjM

The band's third straight number one about the evils of domestic violence from a child's point of view.

Clearly, the band tapped into the Zeitgeist with 'Silver Side Up.' The album was certified 8× Platinum in Canada, 6× Platinum in the US and 3× Platinum in the UK. And ever since, they've been the victims of a targeted smear campaign.

An unconscious hate exists in the minds of our peers. Just mention Nickelback to 3 people you know, and see what they have to say.

They promoted White Values, and now we hate them for it.

>there are still people on /pol? who haven't taken the nickelpill

The Atlantic

This

Imagine someone calling Rap or Hip Hop "The Blackest Music Ever"

>Manowar
>gay

FUCKING DELET THIS RIGHT NOW

>alan parsons

>Prog rock
>currently has some of the most complex polyrythms unused by most music today
>it's too white
I'm mad, you can't make a song like this with a fucking nigger as your composer
youtube.com/watch?v=WVgPGZOH3cM
I will live innawoods soon. then I can get away from this stupid shit

Do people bitch and moan about Tool because Maynard is ultra liberal? Because I'm not sure how people can say the music itself is bad. 46 and 2 is fantastic.

I said power metal is gay. Not Manowar.

Time to listen to Rush and Tool

Prog-rock has lots to teach Fashwave.

I preffer Meshuggah and Lamb of God. Literally the best metal bands ever (Black Sabbath too)

>Tool is shit
Did Maynard fuck your girl on tour or something?

Nickelback are shit because of their yawnworthy riffs and their constipated singer

Again, we have Dream Machine as our band
youtube.com/watch?v=DKLTcsnBNZA

(((You)))

>King Crimson is bad

kill thyselves

Toolfags are NEARLY as bad as Nickelback fags

Goddamn you are one edgy faggot!

>Popol Vuh

That's the origin history of the Quiche people in Guatemala.

gay. that band is total shit.

No, I genuinely don't enjoy most of their music. I like maybe only one album, but that's about it.

He writes for the Atlantic, Slate, and Vox I think. Typical SJW journalist on shitty news sites

I'm not a huge fan of prog rock, but it has nothing to do with who the band members are. I guess I'm just not progressive enough to bash a genre for its racial makeup.

>pink floyd and king crimson are bad
Wew,

You probably could. It just couldn't be an article about why you think it sucks.

White people have stories to tell. This is just one of the mediums they use. No one wants to hear about Oooga Booga killing an antelope.

youtu.be/MaN3pwBsRf8

>Mark Hollis (Talk Talk)
New Wave, then Jazz

>Rock
>White music
Pick one.
The most beautiful music is Russian classical music. Compositors like Glinka, Musorggsky, Tchaikovsky and others were unique prodigies, not like these filthy, degenerate rock and metal "musicians".

One of my favourites for sure. Solo Hammill is really good too.

youtube.com/watch?v=SZiWvjRj1AY
Because it requires a degree of sophistication and musical virtuosity that your average lesser race can't even dream of approaching.

metal composition is closer to classical than any nigger music

shows what you know

music is for f a g g o t s

music snobs are the worst kind of snob

youtube.com/watch?v=e3yckgRec_o
I didn't even mention Tool you fucking illiterate. >Prog-ish? Those are all unquestionably prog.
Maybe so, the genre is fairly comprehensive, but I think the bands i mentioned previously have a more distinct sound.

They can eat shit and die, I still listen to Pink Floyd everyday

>tfw have to listen to Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety

the author is a chump and ramones are fucking garbage

Maynard isn't liberal. He is anti-establishment or hates people who tell others what to do or live. The dude was just on Joe Rogans podcast a few weeks back.

Some of their later material is quite proggish. They also have a spot on Prog Archives, if that counts for anything.
youtube.com/watch?v=qAlLQaDXc4I

Pink Floyd is boring faggotry

Now we're getting somewhere

Odd how "too white" is only a problem for whites. The whitest thing ever would be bad, but the blackest thing ever would be good. And the artwork! "Wow, look how ridiculous these White men are! L O W - S T A T U S amirite? "

That (((they're))) trying to demoralize us into oblivion is so goddamn obvious sometimes.

what a retarded article. he probably doesnt even know what the word prog rock means.

>alan parsons project
>pink floyd
>yes
>"awful"

opinion discarded. wonder what triggered this fag in the first place

youtube.com/watch?v=GTQrlDzqUCA

ramones isn't even punk, it's teeny bopper garbage like the sex pistols late era misfits.

user, you don't only listen to DsotM right? You enjoy their other works too?

There are a ton of classical elements in prog. I feel like you don't know what it actually is.

nah

Their later stuff was their best, but I still considered it jazz/post.
Not arguing, just not one I think of when the word prog is mentioned...

This just makes me want to listen to prog rock just to go against this. Maybe that's their endgame?

Tool is prog metal. But it's more accurate to call them their own genre.

gtkrwn!

youtube.com/watch?v=0MSj4so7N9w

You're wrong. Good progressive rock is basically baroque music with drums and lyrics (usually not even lyrics though).

It's as close to classical as you're gonna get in the modern world. (((Contemporary))) classical sure as fuck doesn't come close.

AS ALWAYS
FIRST POST BEST POST

Tool is rock

who /power metal/ here?

youtube.com/watch?v=M8wJoCgK9f4

Rap and other nigger music is for niggers and subhumans, i though it is clear.
But metal is still garbage for edgy teens.

There is LITERALLY nothing wrong with dream theater

Saw them live once and they put on a fucking amazing show. It's impossible not to get swept up in the energy of 20k people singing along to rock music and thundering pryo.
Seriously, if you ever have a chance to see them in concert, do it.

My black trans woman friend (one of only 3 black people I know) unironically adores prog rock and doesn't care at all about the race of the artists

No. Metal is based. The end.

>People unironically listen to power metal
Why?

LARPers

By "power metal", do you mean garbage pop-metal, US power metal, or EU power metal?
