[Theory & Premise] "Progressive House" is Entirely Post-Punk

71 Replies, 51401 Views

Ultimately I find, audience wise and music maker wise, progressive house, or progressive anything for that matter, is not running parallel to post punk, because stating something is progressive is an oxymoron. The only way of playing that philosophical paradox into continuum ideology is to say something like "Well, post punk has always been about fighting for what's right". But these terms are incongruous - the progressive of today is a fashionista fad, a hipster dogma, a trying to fit the product into the mainstream while saying "fuck you" at the same time.

Post punk, and rock music before, for that matter, never had to do any of that.

Interesting theory though, and rock music begets punk like house music begets rave nowadays, so everything becomes all in, equilaterally valid, touche.
