A pejorative term for political progressives, typically deployed by political tribalists who would prefer not to engage in substantive discussion.
Progressive: "I think a Tobin tax would raise significant revenues while also having the salutary effect of dis-incentivizing rampant unproductive financial speculation."
Political Tribalist: "F- You you proggie....always want something for NOTHING....why don't you get a life proggie??....sitting in your mom's basement.....HA!"
Anarchist: "You know, I think the progressives are wrong, dude, but why are you being such a douchebag?"
Conservative: "Yeah, I don't really think you're adding much to the discussion, Tribalist."
Political Tribalist: "Whatever, you proggie idiots...Why don't you go whining to your proggie mamas?...I WIN!"
Everybody: "Sigh, ok, whatever dude."

Proggy (Progressive Psytrance) is a subgenre of psytrance with more melodic elements and less BPM (130-145) compared to regular Psytrance. The term is mostly used in Germany to differentiate between the subgenres of Psytrance.
It's called Proggy because the tracks have a progressive structure. Almost every track of the genre has characteristic breaks where the melody is being introduced and slowly build up by using audio effects or fx sounds. At the peak of the break there is often a short moment of silence or something else to capture the attention before the Kick+Bass is starting together with the elements that have been introduced during the the break.
After that other elements like Snares, Percussion, Vocals, Hats and Claps are being implemented one after another to keep the progressive structure and to make it more intense when the next element tops the already powerfull arrangement again.
The most noticeabe difference between Proggy and Psytrance is the warmer melodic sound compared to the more mechanical sound in Psytrance. Psytrance has also a different structure. It is not as clearly structured as Proggy. More different one shot sounds are being used in combination with other synth elements which are often not a clear leading element of track.
Compared to Psytrance, Proggy is more minimalistic because there are less different elements in one track but it is being made more interesting by using different audio effects on them.
