Why does Cred Forums bully me for liking prog?

>my LITERAL face when a teenager near me implies prog is music

seriously op. if you give a shit you lose.

Because Cred Forums is full of nu-male raptards and indie cucks like this faggot

>if you don't like prog you are a nu-male cuck
Prog is the most nu-male genre of rock retard

this is what he looked like in 1970

No that's indie rock you stupid drone

Pack it up boys.
/thread

ITT: prog babbies getting buttmad that smart people are calling out their shit taste

You literally cannot defend your favorite genre.

>rock with ambition shouldn't exist it all rock should be dumb party music to get drunk to
Lmao look at these fucking retards

/thread

>smart people
Prog is music for smart people you smug cunt

You probably listen to meme genres like indie and post rock you stupid hipster

>tfw Cred Forums used to love prog and no one cared about rap music

This place has really gone to shit

>prog has "ambition"
Look at him and laugh.

The Velvet Underground were ambitious. Captain Beefheart was ambitious. Sonic Youth were ambitious.

A more fitting term would be regressive rock, because it's rock that tries to imitate older forms like classical and jazz.

No prog band has anything to say beyond "dude I can play scale lmao so fuckin deep"
>Prog is music for smart people you smug cunt
There's a reason the "pretentious prog fan" is an archetype

Rap is better than prog.

Go cry about it somewhere else, nerd.

>muh TVU and Captain Memeheart
Ok so you are a typical smug Scaruffi drone, fucktards like you are no worth arguing with

No, I hate Scaruffi, I never read him. Also Scaruffi loves prog.

My favorite critic is Lester Bangs.

>Rap is better than prog

This is the state of 2016 Cred Forums

How fucking sad
Pitchfork was a mistake

>prog fans can't defend their nerd genre so they resort to condescension
keking @ ur life

You clearly never listened to prog if you think Yes, Jethro Tull and King Crimson is just soulless wank trying to copy jazz

Jesus why is this board so fucking ignorant

It is soulless wank trying to copy jazz. Actually, scratch that, they also pretend to be classical musicians.

Who say that bro?!

What is there to defend? Prog is the most artistic rock subgenre with post rock but idiots on Cred Forums don't like It because it's not ironic enough and has no meme value

I did

Ok so you are retarded

>hurr anything more than 4 chords is wank
Kill yourself

Insecurity. Same reason most people bully in the first place.

>prog is the most artistic rock genre
You're one of THOSE people? You think that it's deep and artistic just because they can play scales for half an hour?

The Rolling Stones has more artistic value in one album than all prog bands combined.

prog is best rock

*tips Warr guitar*

I listen to jazz. Any real jazz fan knows that prog is soulless wank.

Beefheart makes complex, intricate music but I'd never call it wank.

No, it's not about how well they play, it's about song structures and album concepts
I despise soulless wankery like Dream Theater

>The Rolling Stones has more artistic value in one album than all prog bands combined.
How fucking retarded are you? Lmao

You don't think any other subgenres of rock used scales in their music? I just... I...

>I listen to jazz
*tips fedora*

>Beefheart makes complex, intricate music
LOL

>Likes jazz
>Despises prog
How?

Lmao why do you hate complex music so much? Are you jealous because you can barely play basic scales?

He's one of those stupid nigger lovers who thins white people ruin music

>song structures and album concepts
Pretentious shit. If you think prog is actually deep you need to off yourself.
never said that tard
>jazz is fedora but prog isn't
Now I know why you like prog, you never bothered to listen to the genres it rips off
And Beefheart's music is extremely complex and intricate. This is objective.
It's called having taste.

Jazz has a little thing called "soul" that makes it worth listening to.
Complex music isn't inherently bad. Wanky prog that's complex for it's own sake is.

Bad prog is soulless but so is bad jazz.
Bands like King Crimson at their best were actually interested in emotional expression and used their virtuosity and knowledge as a tool and not an end unto itself.

>Bands like King Crimson at their best were actually interested in emotional expression and used their virtuosity and knowledge as a tool and not an end unto itself.
muh fantasy? lel

Holy fuck your smugness is off the fucking charts
I'm not even going to reply to you anymore, you're clearly mentally challenged

>It's called having taste.
I listen to classical music, jazz, jazz fusion, prog and I respect all of those genres. I see nothing wrong with that.

do you people believe in everything you read

The Fact that you think Beefheart makes better music than King Crimson invalidates all your opinions

When you have a non meme response, come back.

Too add to my post: Why would you limit yourself to just jazz or just classical music, when there are so many genres of music worth listening to?

>oh no, I don't know how to respond! I'll just call him smug!
shit taste
The fact that you enjoy King Crimson invalidates the value of your life.
retard

Because he's a condescending prick

>hurr durr my opinions are objectively true and you have shit taste because I said so!!
I've seen 16 year olds with better arguments

Please, answer this:
>Why would you limit yourself to just jazz or just classical music, when there are so many genres of music worth listening to?

You bitch about prog fans being autistic and stupid , but your responses are more toxic than any prog fan I have ever seen

Because the other genres suck
No you haven't
nice refutation, really made me think

Being older than 14 helps with that.

>people actually feeding this blatant troll
Is right. Y'all are a bunch of retards.

>Because the other genres suck.
OK. Atleast I know that I've been arguing with a 15 year old.

>this is Cred Forums in 2016

> indie rock
> emo revival
> shoegaze
> folk punk
> post-punk revival

I mean I like half of those but if you think nu-males only like prog you're deluding yourself

So this is the cancer killing this board

so butthurt

What, you can't handle truth? Typical prog child.

So in short, prog is neither cool or hip for Pitchfork droning hipsters, neither is it highbrow enough for avant teenns and Scaruffi drones

I don't think there are Annie, Kpop and Grimes threads up, so this is what happens...

ITT: post-summerfags getting buttblasted by low quality bait
Embarrassing thread

I am not the one spouting retarded bullshit like An autistic child, the only butthurt person here is you

Not an argument

kek

That implies that is older than 16 in the first place

why are you guys attaching images to music and turning it into a fashion accessory? is that how you normally critique music?

the irony

Prog appeals mainly to children

Cred Forums has always treated /music as fashion accessory

But most people who like prog are old

Prog is a great genre, and the argument that it's shit simply because it tries to be more than generic Christgau rock boggles my mind.

The kraut > prog argument is one of the stupidest things I've heard in my life

Most children don't know what prog is, and based on your responses, they wouldn't know what your music is either.

Because of people like this.
Prog Metal is a fucking joke and I will laugh at you if you think it's good

>Prog is a great genre, and the argument that it's shit simply because it tries to be more than generic Christgau rock boggles my mind.
Prog tries and fails to be "more". If you like prog and think that every other genre is worse you're a tryhard retard who knows nothing about music.

>Most children don't know what prog is
Yeah dude most prog fans aren't kids who discovered daddy's Pink Floyd and King Crimson vinyls, listen to them, and think they're so fuckin deep

Can you give us a legitimate musical explanation as to how it "fails to be more"?

>legitimate musical explanation
Hmm, so I'll make an argument, and you'll say "not an argument, you must prove that prog is bad using le music theory"? No thanks.

Of course, and most kraut fans aren't 16-year-old social outcasts that found out about Captain Beefheart on Cred Forums and listen to it to feel superior and different.

If you can't prove why a musical style is bad using a musical argument, then you're just talking out of your ass.

>naming Christgau
Oh boy.

According to Christgau
robertchristgau.com/get_artist.php?name=King Crimson
Is worse than
robertchristgau.com/get_artist.php?id=5843&name=Soulja Boy
robertchristgau.com/get_artist.php?name=Nicki Minaj
robertchristgau.com/get_artist.php?name=Shakira

Well, of course, if you consider Tool to be "prog" then prog is fucking shit. I will give you that one.

I hate TOOL and all the idiots that listen to their music

Best prog album of all time coming thru

I listened to Beefheart years before coming to Cred Forums. Try again.
It's literally not possible. Music theory can't prove that anything is "good" or "bad", it's descriptive.

Music is not about music. Progressive rock, being a pop genre, shouldn't be judged only based on muh music composition. That's fucking retarded.
>comparing different reviews of different artists of different genres from different decades
Butthurt child gets mad at smart person's taste. News at 11.

Wrong

>progressive rock, being a pop genre
>Butthurt child gets mad at smart person's taste

I don't even know how to respond to this level of delusion

>Progressive rock
>Pop genre
Just... How? This must be bait.

Are you saying that prog isn't popular music? What else is it then?

Retard.

This is some next level bait.

Sure it is, whatever lets you sleep at night.

>look I posted it again

There are good bands in every genre, you just have to look harder

>whatever lets you sleep at night.
you must be the same user defending 21 pilots in this board to bait the shit out of people

>what is avant prog

kekking at your life lad

Prog is literally just classical/jazz for people who are too pleb for classical/jazz.

prog really is the nerdiest sounding music to my ears
