Progressive music is the natural, evolutionary progression a genre.
Originally coined for progressive metal (aka prog metal), it is now used for almost every major genre. (On a side note listening to progressive music is like watching a good movie).
Progressive metal is defined by much lengthier songs, averaging 8-10 minutes each (with instances of 20, 40, and 60 minute songs that are also played live) with heavy emphasis placed on the technical aspects of playing instruments, a continuance of the progression from classical music that it's parent genres, thrash/speed, and heavy metal introduced. The lyrics are an advancement of the poetic harmony introduced in the lyrics of the speed/thrash metal bands Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, and Exodus. Also...progressive music tends to well up emotional responses very well, especially live.
The progressive metal movement was started by Fates Warning as they began to move from the Iron Maiden like sound of their first two albums. The term however was coined to describe Dream Theater, who is considered by most to be the band that defined the genre.

noun progressive shonk
deriv. shonky
A musical genre based on shonk, characterized by a discordant and/or disjointed sound with instrumental and musical progressions. It is most commonly found in DJ'ing and dance music production.
In a historical context, the sound did not originate from a single individual but rather a collective of visionaries, who used the internet to collaborate. As such, pioneering shonkalists and their seminal creations can be found at various websites - in particular, abletonlivedj.com.
Progressive Shonk is a evolution and refinement of Shonk with smoother and more measured beginnings providing a well-balanced transition to the disjointed and jarring feel of classic Shonk
