Progressive is a certain nature of the music and it transcend genres...not a genre itself...to each genre there could be a progressive form...but yeah there's the tag there. Postmetal must be progressive, otherwise it wouldn't be Post at all, cause it would abide a previous formula. Progressive (not Progressist) simply means something goes from one place to another, weather in form or intensity or whatever...trying not to ever repeat the sections without adding something new to it at least...

I understand that DDD, but using the term prog to describe the more traditional forms/origins of a particular sound is still relevant - usually because what once once truly progressive in a creative sense has now been adopted as a genre/style to itself. You know, like when a band like Opeth starts worshiping old 70s prog rock bands in a derivative way, that isn't 'progressive' but it can be described as 'prog' in this context. Of course it's invariably a mix of the two, very few bands are entirely original, but often have creative elements that push a previously well-trodden style to new pastures.

I'm essentially saying it's a grey area, there are two definitions and a lot of ground in-between due to overlap/changes throughout music history. Neither is incorrect and therefore it gets confusing.

Boring.

on one hand you're kinda right, on the other the old guards had changed and it doesn't matter anymore since as ddd said it's why it got labeled as such, cuz it sounds like it's progressing further than simple formulas.

I agree it can be a grey area, but progressive doesn't mean new (" in a creative sense"), or groundbreaking, for me...it just means going from point A to point B to C and so on...(ok I admit it can go back to B or A again once in a while lol).

Progrock from 70's wasn't because it was new, it was because you have different feelings and sounds along longer tracks, and go out of the verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus-outro formula.

clap---aaaaand dust now

tbf which metal genre could be described as happy? of course there are outliers, but in general it is a pretty harsh/bleak genre.

Also The Fall is easily the best song on here
