trust the process

Trusting the process involves supporting a team who is tanking on purpose in order to hoard draft picks as well as assets. Trust the process, also abbreviated as TTP, is somewhat cult-like at times.
Sixers fans TTP by rooting for their team despite three continuous years of less than 20 wins.
Other NBA teams claim to trust the process, but only Sixers fans really get it.

progressive breaks

Not really considered to be an official genre, and not really as much of a combination of the two genres (progressive house and breakbeat) as it is to destinguish itself from Breakbeat in it's Hip Hop influenced form - where more of the emphasis is on being funky.

A Prog Breaks fan is more often a discerning listener and a thinker. Typical features of Prog Breaks include:
> Tidily composed, cleverly arranged beats
> A variety of texture (rough, smooth, sharp, flat)
> Ingenuity and innovation in synthetic sound
> A breakdown of some kind (for a few seconds), where the artist has let their creativity loose with upfront synth sounds or with a crazy, unpredictable bout of broken beats set to send your mind boggling.

Notable artists include (but definately not restricted to) - Hybrid, Luke Chable, Phil K, Andy Page, Burufunk, Grayarea.

progressive metal

A subgenre of metal incorporating elements from progressive rock. The earliest bands to fuse these two genres together were Dream Theater, Watchtower, Psychotic Waltz, and Fates Warning. (Although some argue King Crimson were ahead of their time doing this with 21st Century Schizoid Man.)

Keyboards/synths, and other instruments not seen as often in the metal genre are more commonly used in progressive metal.

It's common for progressive metal acts to have very long song lengths with plenty of complex instrumental sections which give the musicians a lot of room to show off. Odd-time signatures are also are commonly implemented.

Progressive metal lyrics tend to be very cerebral, with elements of fantasy, psychology, and science fiction thrown into the mix. (The sort of lyrics you'd expect from Stephen Hawking or Sigmund Freud if they ever formed a heavy metal band.)
Dream Theater, Psychotic Waltz, Fates Warning, Watchtower, Galactic Cowboys, Kings X, Spiral Architect, Symphony X, Andromeda, Shadow Gallery, Ayreon, Green Carnation, Winds, Liquid Tension Experiment, Superior, The Gathering circa-Mandylion

Progressive Rock

Greatly under-aprreciated form of art. Adds elements of jazz, classical and avant-grade forms of music to come up with something new and original.
Dude that Yes band kicks immeasurable amounts of ass.

Dream Theatre are gods.

Frank Zappa is one fo the few musical genious' of our time.

Progresstination

The act of making good progress on low priority tasks instead of completing tasks that are high priority. Differs from procrastination because the subject is in fact being productive in a manner of speaking.
In a superb feat of progresstination, I avoided working on my term paper, but cleaned my entire house and did the laundry!

Toxic Progressivism

A social movement where people believe in large social reform, yet very narrow minded and unwilling to discuss with any opposition. Other viewpoints than that of their own are seen as morally wrong, and therefore spark immense anger with toxic progressivists, leading to nothing being done.
I can’t believe the toxic progressivism on everyone’s stories, I’m tired of seeing posts like “with no due respect unfollow me if you support Donald Trump.”
