I'm only speculating but,

maybe it has something to do with the adjective "progressive" denoting superiority. If there is such a thing as "progressive" trance then, doesn't that mean that non-"progressive" trance is backward or not as good?


I for one find that the "progressive" term refers more to the structure of the track.

Not that at all. Progressive is a genre, quite apart from Trance. But it, like trance, has been stuck in a rut for the past 18 months or so. Respected producers and labels have been putting out boring, inane tracks, thinking nobody will notice. These producers and labels are being lazy and should know better. Meanwhile, young, relatively unknown producers have been putting out a ton of bomb-ass tracks.

The thing that makes progressive different than other genres of dance music is that it's supposed to push the envelope in terms of sounds and structure. When Progressive stops being "progressive", then Houston, we have a problem.

But there's been plenty of great tracks to chose from over the past 18 months. DJs like Max Graham, Danny Howells and Timo Maas haven't sat on their thumbs - they've been pushing the evelope production-wise and digging up new talent to work into their sets. Props.

So prog being a dirty word is simply the frustration that many prog DJs have. They're tired of the formulaic crap being put out and promoted by the major dance labels as if it was good music. It's the same problem as you have in trance - formula over substance.
