A form of music that takes a very intelligent person to comprehend and appreciate.
The intelligence is usually shown by the fact that the people that like prog metal can actually spell Dream Theater's name right, as opposed to the people who hate on prog/Dream Theater

Get the progressive rock mug.You have kept an open mind about sex and sexuality. You have certain values that you would like to maintain but you have a more live and let live attitude toward sex. What is moral and immoral may be a rather grey line to you and depend quite a bit on the circumstances behind it. You would be willing to explore new areas of sexual experience to draw your own conclusions on what is morally right or wrong. As you let people live their own lives and experiences sexually you would expect the same regard back. Your partner suggesting new sexual encounters or experiences would more than likely excite you and give you something to look forward to. You more than likely have sex toys and fetishes that you share with your partner.
Always outside the mainstream. Sexually progressive. Living in your own head for solace and direction.

Get the sexually progressive mug.(Prog Rock for short)
A genre of music (60's to current) who's heyday occurred in the 1970's.
Known for -
1. Breaking the limits of the "4-minute pop song" by creating "epics" that could last between 7 - 30 minutes long! (Close to The Edge / Supper's Ready / Karn Evil 9)
2. Blending various genres, most commonly jazz and classical, into Rock music (Yes, King Crimson, Frank Zappa)
3. Using instruments uncommon to Rock music (flute, chimes, synthesizers)
4. Using odd time signatures (21st Cent. Schizoid Man - 6/8 / Money - 7/8)
5. Creating longwinded stories or concepts using both music and lyrics to represent it (The Wall / Scenes From a Memory / Dark Side of the Moon)
The genre "progresses" music to try to evolve it into something more engaging than simply something to dance or sing-a-long or jam to.
While arguable, the first Prog band is technically believed by Prog fans to be the Beatles. However, the first band to play in the current sense of the word was King Crimson.
Although most bands in the genre came from the UK, many came from the US (Frank Zappa / Dream Theatre), Canada (Rush), Germany (Van Der Graaf Generator), and more (Iceland - Sigur Ros).
Prog Rock and Metal are both considered to be "guy" bands, and contrary to popular belief, they are not meant to be listened to alone, rather it's just hard to find another prog fan near you these days.
