The Epic Chord Progression

The same four chords used in nearly every hit song which could be defined as "epic". Many people are fooled by the various transpositions, but its all the same stuff. The most popular progression of course being Em, C, G, D (just one example). Please note, the progression can start on any one of the chords, but it will include the other three invariably.
(First noted by a pair of absurdly innovative Oregon high school students).
Musically Uninformed Person:
"OMG! I love Owl City, they talk to my core being and are soooo origional!1!!!"

Musically Informed Person:
"You're a bitch slave to the music industry"

Record Executive:
"Well Jim, we found this new hot young singer who dresses really fuckin' weird like, so they're gonna love her, but she can't write music for shit!"
Co-Conspiring Producer:
"Well that's no problem! Just throw the epic chord progression at 'em with an edgy music video and they'll eat it right up!"

prograsstinate

To participate in meaningless activities, such as playing video games or Twitter, instead of mowing the grass when you know it really needs to be cut.
I know I need to mow my grass, but I'd rather prograsstinate now, and do it next week.

Passive Progressive

A pseudo-liberal who pretends to support progressive causes as long as said causes don't challenge their privilege (economic, gender, orientation, or racial). When challenged, they can be just as intolerant as hard line conservatives.
Person: "Public education is important we need to support it."
Person 2: "But you send your kids to private schools. You're such a passive progressive."

progressive rock

Sub-genre of rock also known in short as "prog".

It relies as much on complex, painstakingly composed and arranged structures that rival classical music (Gentle Giant, BMS, Yezda Urfa), as on improvisation that rivals jazz (VDGG, Soft Machine, ELP). It may employ any device to boost its quality (unusual instruments, elements from other genres, non-standard structures), as it is a genre essentially associated with musical freedom. Prog pieces often extend beyond a 5 minute limit, though it is not always the case (Gentle Giant, Jethro Tull).

Its primordial purpose was to bring much-needed credibility to rock'n'roll, while unifying the different realms of "good music" and exploiting its potential to the fullest. Sadly, it has drawn a large amount of snobbish minions in the process.

It thrived in the 70s, after which many of its most brilliant exponents, even Pink Floyd or ELP, not to mention Gentle Giant, just started getting it wrong. It was no longer progressive rock, but a kind of "tired uninspired unchallenging get-with-the-times-old-man sing-along" rock.

Additional Note: Male prog fans who believe this is not a genre enjoyed by those loosely referred to as "girls" need to be more "progressive" so as not to shame their kind. They are suggested to start by not making gratuitous generalizations, and realizing they're looking for female companionship in the wrong place.

P.S.: I'm not even a feminist but that's just lame.
Genesis is one of the many progressive rock groups that have tarnished their legacy by going top 40.

A progressive rock fan should know better than to think like an emo kid.

Me and my girls like progressive rock: we shake our booties to "21st Century Schizoid Man" and sway with the fellas to "Shine on You Crazy Diamond".
