Cause I asked this question:

and MCR and Paramore? Really? is that what people think progressive rock is?
Another time, the question was "What's you favorite band and genre?" And some girl put MCR and Prog rock.
Doesn't this seem a bit... off?

Olde School ®™ : Prog rock is probably one of the hardest genres to explain, but it involves alot of concept albums, long songs, and experimentation. Most famous Prog bands are Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, ELP, Rush and King Crimson.

Apparently MCR fits every genre...punk, rock, progressive, alternative, whatever and whatever. Or, so their fans "think".

Yes....I am 20 years old and a prog freak.
Yes, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Van Der Graff Generator, Uriah Heep, Procol Harum
And the Gods of Prog - Genesis
I don't understand the hype about MCR. Every question on this thing is MCR this MCR that.
I just read one that was is MCR better than Zep. What a joke. Get this preteen girls off this site so we can talk real music.

I am so sick of people saying how awesome MCR are on here. Have you ever listened to their music...it is awful. I mean really bad. My cat could do better than that.
Prog. rock is something that needs a little sophistication to listen to. it doesn't rely on having "hot guys" to sell records or a bad @ss attitude. it is about playing and writing great, intricate songs that are usually conceptual and very thematic. The virtuoso element is very big in prog. too. I don't see much virtuosity in bands like MCR or Fall Out Turd.
MCR.....what a frickin' joke!

Here's a definition of what Progressive Rock REALLY is:
Progressive rock ("prog") is an ambitious, eclectic, and often grandiose style of rock music which arose in the late 1960s principally in England, reaching the peak of its popularity in the early 1970s, but continuing as a musical form to this day. Progressive rock was largely a European movement, and drew most of its influences from classical music and jazz fusion, in contrast to American rock, which was influenced by rhythm & blues and country, although there are notable exceptions in the New World such as Kansas and Rush — considered by many to be the finest examples of the form. Over the years various sub-genres of progressive rock have emerged, such as symphonic rock, art rock and progressive metal.
Progressive rock artists sought to move away from the limitations of radio formatted rock and pop, and "progress" rock to the point that it could achieve the sophistication of jazz or classical music. It is admired by its fans for its complexity, requiring a high level of musical virtuosity to perform. Critics have often derided the genre as pompous and self-indulgent. This is because, unlike such stylistically consistent genres as country or hip hop, progressive rock is difficult to define in a single conclusive way. Outspoken King Crimson leader Robert Fripp has voiced his disdain for the term. The major acts that defined the genre in the 1970s (Yes, Genesis, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Rush and King Crimson) do not sound alike. There is also debate on whether bands such as The Beatles, Phish, and Radiohead belong to the genre.

I'd say Pink Floyd, Gentle Giant, maybe Jethro Tull.
