What is Prog?

A shortened term which came about in the late 80s but stands for progressive rock music which dates back to the late 60s. It is rock based music that pushed boundaries beyond pop 'single' verse, chorus, verse, bridge, chorus, four minute compositions.

Prog encompasses various styles dating back to the late 60s depending on influences and established music forms being blended together. Classical blended with rock is a style of prog called 'symphonic'. Jazz musicians that composed rock suites are called 'fusion' in the U.S.. In the U.K. jazz and rock combine in the style called 'canterbury'. In France it's called 'zuehl'. Freakout, jam style bands in Germany are called 'krautrock'; elsewhere they are called 'spacerock' and 'jambands'. Bands whos sound is dominated by synthesizers as both rhythm and lead instruments are called 'electronic'. There are many progressive style rock artists who are unclassifiable, who pushed the boundaries of rock in the late 60s and early 70s in completely unique ways such as Funkadelic, Frank Zappa and the early Santana band.

Prog is a nebulous term applied to artists who play rock instrumentation without regard to commercial, pop radio format restraints of song length and/or improvisational content.

Some examples of 70s prog artists beside those already mentioned are Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Soft Machine, Magma, Embryo, Osibisa, Gong and Tangerine Dream.

Some examples of prog in the new millenium are The Flower Kings, Kenso, Ozric Tentacles, Groove Collective, Deus Ex Machina and Radio Massacre International.

Prog - slang

1. An adjective denoting the complexity of a thing or event; when something seems far too difficult to undertake or complete; when one is involved in a "sticky situation." (Derives from the words "Progressive" and "Prog", used to describe certain types of rock/Metal music (e.g., Rush, Dream Theater, Genesis, Symphony X, Tool, etc.), which may use odd time-signatures and, at times, contain mind-blowing musicianship.)

2. My also refer to the manner in which one is dressed: One will usually sport a white button-down shirt and tight-fit pants (black jeans, leather, blue jeans, white pants).

"My Advanced Quantam Physics exam was so prog that my heart almost stopped as I was trying to complete it."

"Did you see John Paul at the party yesterday? He was proggin' it up with his clean-ass white Calvin Klein button-down. He dressed mad prog."

Prog

Shortened form of the word "Progressive". Usually used by U.S. Conservatives and Libertarian groups on twitter and tik-tok as a derogatory word to describe politicians and policy of the Democratic Party and politicians in their own parties that seem to align towards the Democratic Party, especially in regards to Democratic policies the right sees as elitist and weakening the United States domestically and internationally.

It came about due to millennial and GenZ right wingers being annoyed and confused by the baby-boomer minded right calling what they perceive to be authoritarian policies as "liberal"

Person 1: "Nancy Pelosi is also getting rich off insider trading while shipping jobs to our enemies and telling the middle class that it's patriotic to suffer under inflation"
Person 2: "She's a Prog who would have her opposition imprisoned if she could get away with it"
