Progressive metal is a generally needlessly complicated and unstructured form of music that often makes minimal sense to the majority of metal fans because it can only be appreciated by people with an IQ over 600.
Progressive metal fans often believe they are superior to any fan of any other genre and will generally reject any piece music that isn't at least 20 minutes long with 40 key changes per minute.
Music in 4/4 is like kryptonite to a progressive metal fan and they must be administered dream theatre riffs as an antidote
An easy way to spot a progressive metal fan is to look for the guy who is pissed off at Opeth for dropping the growls yet goes to their shows anyway and yells for them to play Black Rose Immortal. He will also let everyone know that he's mostly there for the support band, who he has known about for ages.
In short, the math nerd of metal

Friend: Who's that guy *Points at a guy middle aged guy with long hair, glasses and a dream theatre shirt on stood in the middle of the pit looking like a moody teenager*
Me: Oh that's a progressive metal guy, he actually hates this band because their music is too simple

Me: Oh it's happening, look at him now
Prog metal guy: I HATE YOU GUYS WHY CAN'T YOU JUST GO BACK TO THE WAY YOU WERE YOU BETTER PLAY BLACK ROSE IMMORTAL RIGHT NOW OR I'M OUT OF HERE.

What a company cooks themselves when they shamelessly does something for the sake of appearing diverse for street cred, rather than actually fighting prejudice.
Amber: Woah, insert homophobic corporation here made their logo rainbow for pride month! How diverse and inclusive of them!
Jenny: Don't fool yourself, they are just making themselves some progressive cake.

What is classified as "progressive" varies between cultures, but the gist of what it encompasses is a desire to "progress" society; i.e., to create a society that is based on the detachment from traditional norms and practices. Examples of ideas that are considered "progressive" are:
- Expansive LGBTQ rights
- Protecting minorities from discrimination
- Tolerance of atypical gender expression
- Miscellaneous left-wing ideas such as progressive taxation

"Progressivism is the scourge of society; it seeks to tear out the foundations of our communities that have kept us satiated for centuries. It's like uprooting a plant from its pot and replacing the soil with rocks. It promotes degeneracy in all corners of the public: the streets, the businesses, the bathrooms, and even the schools. It can only cause collapse."
"Being progressive may be the only measure we have to combat the waves of hatred that constantly plagues our society. Some may feel a sense of bitter nostalgia recalling the "good ol' days" when everything was simpler, but they need to be reminded that very few were treated equally or with proper respect and compassion during those times. We need to ensure a society that guarantees safety for not only oppressed individuals, but for all people."
