OK, seriously, I’m fed up with nearly every day having to explain that nickelback is a progressive metal band. I’m a fucking musicologist and a progressive rock composer. I shouldn’t have to fucking explain what is blatantly obvious to people who aren’t paying attention and don’t understand how musical genres work. Every person who has called Nickelback a genre other than prog-metal is a poseur who has no understanding at all of musical theory. When you combine progressive rock, extreme metal genres and jazz into one style, it comes out as progressive metal. How many times do I have to fucking explain this? It should be common fucking knowledge.
