Get the Progressive Rock mug.by STEALTHWALKER April 12, 2008
Get the Brogression mug."That’s the phrase coined by Steven Pinker to describe a brain disorder that strikes liberals and makes them incapable of recognizing progress... It’s like situational blindness, only what you can’t see is that your dorm in 2021 is better than the South before the Civil War.” - Comedian Bill Maher
“If you think America is more racist now than ever, more sexist than before women could vote, and more homophobic than when blow jobs were a felony, you have Progressophobia and you should adjust your mask because its covering your eyes." - Comedian Bill Maher
"...saying White Power and privilege is at an all-time high, is just ridiculous. Higher than a century ago, the year of the Tulsa Race Massacre? Higher than the years when the KKK road unchecked and Jim Crow went unchallenged? Higher than the 1960s, when the Supremes and Willie Mays still couldn't stay in the same hotel as the white people they were working with? Higher than during Slavery? And I mean actual Slavery, not Prince doesn't like his contract Slavery." - Comedian Bill Maher

Get the Progressophobia mug.Prog metal for short. A sub genre of music that combines the almost jazz-like progression of progressive rock and the agression, volume, speed, and heaviness of metal. Usually features band members who are incredibly skilled at their instruments. Features rapid key changes, odd time signatures, and bombastic instrumental sections. It could be defined as "intelligent metal".

Get the progressive metal mug.A term used to describe forward thinking electronic house music originating in the UK in the early 90's. Originally coined as a joke by a Mixmag journalist, it came to describe the sound championed by Sasha & John Digweed at Renaissance, Venue 44, Mansfield in the early 90's. "Renaissance - The Mix Collection" released in 1994 was the first ever DJ mix album, and defined the "progressive house" sound, taking in elements of trance and U.S. house. Other prominent DJ's in the "progressive house" scene include Dave Seaman, Nick Warren and James Zabiela.
Digweed was playing some proper deep prog last night
I love my progressive house but I also like tech-house and breaks
I love Sasha's progressive sound
This quality prog just stomps along
Sasha & Digweed B2B always does it for me

Get the progressive house mug.An upscale prostitue who services a small number of men (usually executives) on a regular, long-term basis in exchange for them contributing to her financial well being. Each man may call on her anytime on his regular day (eg. 1st & 3rd Tuesdays). If he needs her for a Friday,Saturday or other days, additional negotiations are necessary.
I could never be a protitute - having to hustle for johns and taking risks, but being a professional mistress is great because I am in control of who I see and when, and the guys I pick really take good care of me.

Get the professional mistress mug.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.
