Ok, then my apologies. BUT, your initial post came across as very ignorant to progressive when you called it pointless. It seemed like you didn't understand what progressive was all about (and you still may not, I don't know) and only formed that opinion based off of the current prog drivel by ASOT/GDJB, which unfortunately, many members on this board take. If progressive is not your thing, fine. Trance is not my thing. BUT, at least try to provide some reasons instead of making blatent assumptions on a whole genre's "arrogant listeners" and that music being pointless. It makes you seem uninformed and very easy to dismiss the some of the best progressive tracks (ie: 1998-2003) because of preconceived opinions based on some of the bog-bog or current mcprog you heard. Like I said, it just pisses me off when people shit all over progressive when they haven't heard some of the tracks I have. You may just simply not like progressive, but please, don't label all prog listeners as the close-minded "hate-everything-else" elitists you make them out to be.
Doesn't everyone feel superior to everyone else when listening to music? I mean, if you listen to a certain type of music and feel very passionately about it, don't you generally tend to regard it highly and feel your music is far greater than other genres simply because of how much emotion/feeling/passion you get from it. At least that's how I think, considering music is my life, and it has been since I picked up the saxophone in 6th grade. However, I'm not like certain members on this board and try to explain myself instead of slating something just for shits and giggles in every thread. So, do I feel superior? Yes in a way. Am I the so-called "arrogant prog-head" you refer to? Not really.
