progressive

Progressive music is the natural, evolutionary progression a genre.

Originally coined for progressive metal (aka prog metal), it is now used for almost every major genre. (On a side note listening to progressive music is like watching a good movie).

Progressive metal is defined by much lengthier songs, averaging 8-10 minutes each (with instances of 20, 40, and 60 minute songs that are also played live) with heavy emphasis placed on the technical aspects of playing instruments, a continuance of the progression from classical music that it's parent genres, thrash/speed, and heavy metal introduced. The lyrics are an advancement of the poetic harmony introduced in the lyrics of the speed/thrash metal bands Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, and Exodus. Also...progressive music tends to well up emotional responses very well, especially live.

The progressive metal movement was started by Fates Warning as they began to move from the Iron Maiden like sound of their first two albums. The term however was coined to describe Dream Theater, who is considered by most to be the band that defined the genre.
To name a few (alpha order so as to offend nobody 8o)...Angra, Dream Theater, Enchant, Evergrey, Fates Warning, Labyrinth, Opeth, Savatage, Shadow Gallery, Spiral Architect, Sun Cage, Symphony X, Threshold, Vanden Plas

Horny Indian Programmer

acronym: HIP.
Horny Indian Programmer, or HIP is a term used to describe any Middle Eastern male with a computer who sends random Private Messages to women in a real-time text chat such as Yahoo. Generally, they are seeking to obtain Green Cards through gullible women. They are usually horrid spellers, although many are doing it on purpose and can probably spell quite well.

proggy

Used to describe pyschadelic music with progressive tone changes, ie, progessive music. This music is so progressice that it is foggy and the notes kind of just float mid-air, barely changing at all. Also can be used when touting progressive music that you feel is exceptionally trippy. A stoner type term.

Progressivism

A political ideology centered around the idea of social, economic, and technological progress.

The traditional Progressive platform usually involves some of the following:
-Single-payer healthcare (especially in the United States)
-Separation of Church and State
-Responsible Gun Regulation (some more-extreme Progressives are anti-gun, but not all of them are)
-Responsible Immigration Reforms (Despite the stereotype, a lot of Progressives do not want open borders)
-More public funding for education, this may also include making public college tuition-free
-More funding for infrastructure
-More funding for science and space exploration
-More funding for social programs
-Less funding for defense and a restructuring of the military to be more defense-oriented and less imperialistic
-The protection of the rights of women, the LGBTQ+ community, people of color, people of other faiths or no religion, etc
-Reforms to the political and electoral system to address fraud and corruption.

Not all progressives are screeching SJWs who hate white men, a lot of us are actually quite level-headed and just want a better society.
Progressivism is not about hating men or white people, it's about progress and making society function better.
