The "Progressive" party are now attacking my favorite genre of music Progressive rock. Why do they want me to be their enemy so badly?

Its honestly a boring genre

t b h white people should be killed on a large scale

um because litcherally all wypipo are racist sweetie (‿)

how'd voting for bernie work out for you

i'm a huge fan of prog. but come on, a great chunk of the music claimed to be or is even hailed today as "innovative" when all it did was change the time signature every 30 seconds for 20 minutes straight with melodies that are intentionally unenjoyable. the article makes some fair points.

it's definitely usually not trying to be upbeat or fast, but i wouldn't call stuff like "21st Century Schizoid Man", "Stairway to Heaven" or "Roundabout" boring

Neo Nazi here.

Prog is garbage

>stairway to heaven
>prog
stop

The thing I love and the thing I hate both share the same name ironically.

i think main issue with prog is that the music-production/sound-engineering side of it has aged like milk. the guitars, the singing, most of it has a tinny, ear-hurting timbre in comparison to what we have today.

>Why do they want me to be their enemy
Yeah because you'd ever do anything about it, right ?

Well I mean I'm a fuckin' CIS WHUITE MAIL AMERIKKKAN and they seem to be attacking everything I believe and like when I haven't done jack shit to them. But oh wait I'm white, so I must of had owned slaves in my families past so I'm inherently evil.
And now they're attacking my music preference.
Like I said, it's like they want me to be their enemy.

>Why do they want me to be their enemy so badly?
SJWs actually like """oppression""", it gives them something to complain about.

based progressives dropping truthbombs on the dumb prog-loving m*nbaby

How can you call prog unenjoyable? I first listened to it at 8 years old and it was pure eargasm even back then when i didn't know crap about music theory or music besides pop in general.

The important question is why do you care? The article was specifically made to get punters like you to read it and share it. Journalism is all based on clickbait, and taking any of the garbage they spew seriously makes you as stupid as them.

Y'know it's alright to just ignore people when they spout stupid opinions, right? We ignore the flat-earthers because we collectively have agreed their views aren't worth the time to discredit. Same thing with Scientology - nobody bothers disproving them because everyone knows they're fucking wrong.

We can do the same thing when people on the left and right talk about retarded things like "digital blackface" and "that Obama there is a secret mooslim." Yes, people are free to have an opinion - but that doesn't mean the rest of us have to give a shit.

>stairway to heaven
>not prog
stop

>can and king crimson are awful because they're too white
>but the black guy who sampled their music is a genius and the best artist of this generation
okay pitchfork

i enjoy a lot of prog, actually. close to the edge is just a solid onslaught of beautiful melodies, thick as a brick is warm and powerful, and i just fucking love anything king crimson ever did. a plauge of lighthouse keepers remains one of the most haunting and eerie songs i know of. i love a lot of prog.

however, stuff like ELP, a lot of post-CttE stuff by yes, and pretty much all modern prog just becomes tedious and lacking in any real passion or power. the article makes some valid points about the sheer enjoyably of a lot of the music because of it's tendency to completely avoid anything remotely catchy in the name of "pushing the boundaries of music." i love prog, but the article does make some fair points.

*unenjoyablity

sorry it's 1am and i'm typing my incoherent ramblings as they come to my head

NP, but i really felt prog's quirkiness extremely enjoyable even though different. Obviosuly stuff like ELP tends to be pure wankery, but at the time i found Tarkus enjoyable nonetheless.

yeah i think we all did at one point. i get the self-indulgence and eccentricities of prog are actually kind of the appeal to some. unfortunately, it was exactly that quality that helped cripple the genre and let more "poppy" sounds dominate the music industry. but come on, you're right, even i loved tarkus at one point.

>implying every other race combined could take us

theres a reason we're topdog buddy this white privalge had to come from somewhere ;)

How can you say that Prog Rock isn't whiter than European folk music, Appalachian folk music or Country music? I realize that Country is based originally on Blues music, which at the time was a predominantly black genre, but it's since become a genre that's primarily composed, performed and sold to white people, and unlike Prog, has a fanbase that skews to the right more heavily than usual. Country is my favorite genre and I'm a white dude, but it seems asinine to not called it the white genre in mainstream popular music.

lol if every single race turned on white people, we'd be dead in an instant. you're delusional to think otherwise.

why do you care

How is it prog?

We'd only really have to worry about Asians, Russia, America and Europe both have enough power that anyone other than China would be easy to take out if push came to bomb drop.

this was the atlantic

this article was cringeworthy

don't care

GAS THE WHITES MAYOCIDE NOW

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS QUEEEEN

i didn't read the article but i assume white here means nerdy, weak, childish, cringy, soulless and outdated

A white person wrote that article. LMAO white people have so much time in their hands they need other whites to create some trouble, so they can get pissed at something and feel like they just haven't wasted their time. Both sides of whites are shit.

You all enjoy the feeling of getting pissed over this petty shit.

You seem quite thin skinned, just like all those prog nerds in the 70s not that you can expect anything else from the genre

american prog is awful

>american prog is awful
This
The only thing americans contributed to prog was cheesy prog metal

>Chooses the most pedestrian, dancible prog songs he could think of.

I love prog. I fucking love prog. I can't listen to almost any King Crimson. They're terrible. My favorite prog, in order, is Gentle Giant, Gryphon, Yes, Fruupp, and ELP.

Aw man, I totally forgot Area. That's right after Gryphon.

americans write the best music on earth. They're rivalved only by the British whose bands are few and far-inbetween

Prog never seemed self indulgent to me. Jazz did. Long solo sections are a huge turn off for me, especially in prog, because proof has always been about tight, careful composition, more akin to classical than anything else.

I love America for Hip-Hop, Rock, and Jazz. The UK gives the best prog.

They do. Play along and start the racewar whitey.

Your taste is disgustingly bad LMAO

''music" ""journalism""

this.

Why do white people have nothing better to do than complain about things being 'white'?

>muh wypipo

I'll fucking fight whoever wrote this shit, and no, I am not going to read it. Won't give this trash them sweet clickshekels.

guarantee you whoever wrote this shlock is white

>Implying that if all white people went full 14/88 other races would stand a chance

>Bondage Fruit
>Koenjihyakkei
>Sound Horizon
>Lacking in any real passion or power
>Not being some of the most catchy music out there while still being prog

This shit reads like bait from start to finish

I think of pop punk fitting that description before I think of prog.

War on Drugs don't make prog tho

wh*tes are all weak pathetic wimps just the immigrant bros in europ could take care of them

Writer's white as fuck, isn't he?

>Catchy melodies
>Catchy melodies
>Where da catchy melodies at, doe?

Is there any greater indicator of turboplebbery than judging music solely by how much of a carefully calcuated ear-worm it's main hook is? How is it possible to write about music while being so astonishingly ignorant? Also, the whole "punk killed prog" thing has been debunked trillion times. The oil crisis rising the price of vinyl and causing a recession, prog artists themselves running out of ideas, bands breaking up, and most importantly the unstoppable rise of *disco* are what killed prog. The author even admits to not being around at the time, I think he's just swallowed the Christgauian received wisdom without bothering to crosscheck it.

Prog has some gems but god damn most musicians who make it are terrible. It has some of the best 10s but most of the albums are 4s and below.

I reckon that prog is an example pf a genre that poptimists had to discredit, but couldn't descredit the audience because at a surface level the audiences are far too similar - it's not a macho audience, it's actually quite white and nerdy, much like the people behind music critique. So you have to discredit prog as just musical wankery. It's not like prog took itself too seriously in the foirst place - Rush and the washing machines is a big one, but Jethro Tull and Yes weren't too far behind in terms of how seriously they took themselves.

Prog had always been elusive in a way, basically impossible to do a poptimist critique of its audience like it was done with just about every other genre because you'd hit an audience not too different from yours. So you discredit it as a genre. Just read the reviews for The Mars Volta and Tool on Pitchfork.

Now I reckon they have found a way to discredit the audience without discrediting their own audience, but it's way too late now. And yes, I might be drifting into tinfoil hat territory here.

i agree

thats how all old music sounds if your favourite artist is drake

dont worry you'll get over it when you turn 15

lol

I'm a liberal snowflake and I love prog.

What do anons?

it's simple, guys: let the bad bands like ELP rot and molder, start slowly sliding the bands you like under the "art rock" shield that the same snippy little shits cooked up to protect everything people who were in roxy music or can did in the 70s

y'all should double-check who was actually ON those pre-minimalism eno albums, and i'm not just talking fripp or wyatt; YOUR BOY PHIL COLLINS WAS THERE

*saves prog*

>Using "white" as a negative descriptor
>They'd never dare refer to any other skin color negatively like that

Gee, I wonder (((who))) could be behind this article???

>TMV

Hey look, someone with absolutely no redeeming qualities.
Neck yourself Hans.

The Blackest Music Ever

D O U B L E S T A N D A R D S

fucking racist James Parker

They're being good little allies user.

Yup. Let's kill the people that made the decent societies where everyone wants to live. That will work out great. Just ask Rhodesia.

>War on Drugs
>audacious and innovative
wut

>all the insecure drumpftards taking the bait

it's funny because you can tell who grew up in poor, mostly southern areas and was beat up by a black kid in their childhood

>netflix
>GoT
>Steven Universe
>Bill Burr

these are all objectively great things i cant believe ive been rused this hard by a meme image

It's acceptable to like some of these things. But when the image embodies your entire being it's time to consider suicide.

Who the fuck is trevor noah

netflix is a DRM-laced normie bait

GoT was good but it's been on the slow decline since season 4 and now a 5/10 show at best

Bill Burr has not told a funny joke in his life. he's basically George Carlin for older edgier kids

it's the only way we can move forward as a world: we exterminate ypipo

The whole article 1) racist libcuck dross, and 2) plain wrong, as there are plenty of genres "whiter" than prog (see: Midwest emo, country, pop punk, etc.).

>GoT was good but it's been on the slow decline since season 4
On a free fall, more like.

>whites make good music
>blacks sample music made by whites and get praised for it by white nu males who attack good artists for being white
Wew

>GoT
>objectively great

yeah, if you like eating shit. go back to reddi

>blacks make good music
>whites start playing the same music and get praised for it by white racists who wouldn't listen to good black artists for being black

Projecting much, user?

>by racists
Nice buzz word

WE

Yeah black people in America who could hardly afford instruments were playing King Crimson before King Crimson

Fucking retard. Fuck you.

>mid-70s
>british punks slam prog for being middle-class and over-indulgent
