What is the modern day equivalent to 70s prog rock? Music that is loathed by critics and isn't "cool" at all, and only listened to by nerds but has a devoted fanbase and probably will forever?
What is the modern day equivalent to 70s prog rock? Music that is loathed by critics and isn't "cool" at all...
Chase Murphy
Tyler Hughes
Vaporwave
Hudson Mitchell
emo
Dominic Rodriguez
Metal that's relatively on the more obscure side.
Brayden Bennett
>missing the point
Actually good answers. Both definitely very different than prog but fits OP's description well.
I think Math Rock may be a little closer in spirit to prog as a modern successor though
Oliver King
if prog isnt cool then explain this, hot shot
Asher Taylor
Yes
Been picking up more attention from critics lately.
Bentley Rogers
The difference is prog takes talent to make.
Might be right, but it's more popular by the day
Metal has had the same relative amount of attention for a long time at this point.
Hunter Nguyen
Far Side Virtual was on many AOTY lists though what are you talking about?
Just because Pitchfork's initial American Football review was lower than the more current review doesn't mean everyone was like that.
Jack Allen
>Far Side Virtual was on many AOTY lists though what are you talking about?
Plenty of KC and Yes records also got very popular, it's still Prog.
Parker Baker
>He still thinks vaporwave is obscure and only listened to by "nerds"
Woo boy.
Gabriel Morales
>loathed by critics
Loathed by bad critics like pic related, you mean.
All real musicians have immense respect for the genre.
Asher Wood
People bully me for liking it, so that's where I got that idea.
Adrian Sanders
>all real musicians
you're acting like you have any sort of credibility
Jonathan Fisher
Prog didn't initially get that kind of love though. FSV didn't get that ITCOTKC level D+ shit. It got the opposite praise right from the start.
Easton Martin
>opinions from people who actually know how to play music arent credible
ok
Jayden Rogers
70s prog rock sold very well
Dylan Johnson
I'm not calling myself a groundbreaking musician, or anything of the sort, I'm just saying that most people with music theory degrees and/or people that produce objectively complex and advanced music respect the genre.
Robert Christgau is a talentless english major that couldn't notice a good piece of music if it fucked him raw in the ass.
Adrian Harris
There is no equivalent. Nerds today mostly listen to memerap, pop and dance music like everyone else. I think metal in general would be your closest answer.
Jaxon Wilson
Stoner rock. It's not exactly loathed by critics, it's just faded into complete obscurity. Which is a shame because a lot of bands have incorporated psych/blues/hard rock elements and it's really interesting.

Christgau is not a """""""""""""""critic"""""""""""""""
Michael Roberts

Yeah...have no clue what you're talking about.
Aaron Phillips

Maybe, but most critics respond fairly to this
Sebastian Sullivan
There's only critic whose opinion matters on this board
Zachary Walker
>Maybe, but most critics respond fairly to this
Oh you're so mature and above metal, user!
Cameron Williams
Gold is not 'very well'
Christian King
It's weird how 70's prog was loathed by critics when prog from 1969 through 1972 was the pinnacle of modern music. I guess they wouldn't feel intellectual enough while claiming to like something that good.
Dylan Miller
Apparently your music loses all emotions if you wanna do any emotion outside of drugs, sex, and rock n roll on a rock album.
Benjamin Anderson
Scaruffi really liked close to the edge and fragile if you understand his rating scale
Luke Baker
I would say prog rock or prog metal
