Noob question: is progressive considered its own genre??
id like ur views on this. some kids on another message board view progressive as a type of house music. whats the common view about prog house/trance? is it just one genre or 2?
there isn't a rule for this
but i consider progressive and progressive house as genres
Progessive, also for me a bit strange...
For me prog is Im With You (leama & moor remix) and other shit like that.
Prog is my music when Im chilling out

I think that it is a separated genre. But I'm not a prog-head, I just listen to prog from time to time... prog is okay
Progressive is a genre by itself, but it has sub-genres. Examples of those are progressive-trance, progressive-house, and progressive-breaks to name a few. Now, progressive has been around for a long time (yes even before Xpander) and is much more innovative than general trance. People who diss progressive are usually those who never even gave it a chance. It takes a while to make a transition from trance to progressive. Trance is more hyper and much easier on the ear of the average listener. Progressive takes time to adapt to and really requires an appreciation for production. Now I'm a fan of both good trance and good progressive, but trance proves to be more and more cheesy as time goes by and progressive is always fresh.
i think progressive is a - that you can put before most genres' names....i think it's a bit similar to "alternative" or "uplifting".....and progressive rock is a separate genre isn't it??
progressive is more a style or adjective not necessarily its own genre. trance, techno and house can all have progressive elements/beats in them..
Prog is so boring....
I hope there's never a year of prog, because I wouldn't want to sleep through a year.

Progressive, for electronic music, is just a label like tribal and acid...
... whenever it's got an ethnic feeling, it's tribal (no matter the genre)
... whenever it's based on the tb-303, it's acid (except for acid jazz)
... whenever there's a pretentious producer who forgets that all genres evolve, it's progressive 
j/k, but if I were you I wouldn't mind much about the difference between progressive trance and progressive house, since they're progressively becoming the same progressive thing n/k
The answer is no: progressive IS not a genre by itself, because there is progressive trance and progressive house...thus, instead of just sayin prog, it's prog trance or prog house. Prog house is not a subgenre of prog, rather it's the other way around: prog house is a subgenre of house, just like prog trance is a subgenre for trance.

Even though the word "progressive" is an adjective, like "hard" or "uplifting," it is commonly used as shorthand for progressive house.
Progressive = Progressive house
I don't think you would find many people describe progressive trance as simply "progressive." The word by itself almost always means progressive house.

Why is it so important to fit music into a nice little box? Just listen and enjoy...
progressive in general bridges the gap between house and trance.
Progressive house gains momentum through the track with layers of percussion and a few samples.
Progressive Trance builds its journey through the use of subtle melodies and keyboard effects.

progressive breaks sound amazing. they r currently the most innovative subgenre of prog now. the stuff done by chable, fretwell, momu, etc is mind fucking.
