neo-prog

A label commonly used for new bands influenced by progressive rock. These bands frequently were also influenced by alternative/punk rock, unlike more traditional punk bands, so they have a different sound to them, but also have many of the qualities of progressive rock bands, such as odd time signatures, long songs, classical/jazzy influences, and complex layered songs.
Bands frequently called Neo-prog include: Radiohead, The Mars Volta, Tool, Coheed and Cambria, Dredg, Muse, Kasabian, etc.

prog whore

A person, usually male and ugly, who plays in a progressive rock band and tries to get laid. Drummers and singers are usually successful, but keyboardists never get ass. Prog whores are an especially dumb species because everyone knows you can't get girls by playing prog rock.
Pain of Salvation are such prog whores, because they have lots of groupies.

Prog snob

Miserable cunts (usually British) who are insistent that progressive rock is the only decent genre of music and who actively dislikes anything outside that category. These creatures tend to have as much fun in their 50s as they did in their teens (basically none) as they’re convinced that clubbing and partying is “lame” and instead sit at home with their wanked out pressing of dark side of the moon because it’s “fun to be alternative”. They marry wives who are frequently into pop music and receive daily reminders as to why Phil Collins shouldn’t have replaced Peter Gabriel in Genesis, to which they respond “well anything but a fucking 20 minute song that does fuck all”. It should be noted that they scour the internet in misery, commenting on pop videos and replying in anger on music forums.
James Is a right prog snob. Listening to one song every half a fucking hour
