Of course, if you still use the standards of the past to judge today's music, you're completely screwed. It's like showing a Picasso painting to Leonardo da Vinci and telling him that he's the greatest painter of the twentieth century. At the very least, he'd spit in your face.

What would you like the progressive to dominate the charts and hit parades? Art has gone beyond the Renaissance. Look at painting. A painting, no matter how ugly, is very representative, whereas a classical painting with a religious theme may be beautiful to look at but does not have the same meaning.

A society now in disarray like today's can only be described by a slovenly, trivial music, just as a society like that of the 60s could only be described by a committed music.

In a way, yes. It reflects the youth of these years. Whether it's worthless youth or not is not for us to say. But it is its faithful mirror.

Music, especially that of the last 50 years, is not just technique; it has a very important social component, filling stadiums and selling millions of records. If it were only about technique, then it would be fair to say that progressive is the best genre or that Dream Theater are the greatest band in history. Luckily, it’s not like that.

use noble, use important, use the synonym you want, the point remains the same. Comparing a progressive suite to a punk song is on the same level as comparing a painting by Leonardo da Vinci to one by Andy Warhol. Technically it’s more difficult, but does it have more artistic value?

I said that no genre is better than another, but one can consider one genre more noble than another based on how much it reflects society or not.

but no one said that nobility is the mirror of society

Even this music, from the same point of view, could be considered more noble than progressive, which, as grand as it is and as difficult, is a rather artificial genre that serves itself. One must look at things from different perspectives.

And yet you see, Paris Hilton and the Finleys, as ridiculous and useless as they may be, are a reflection of today's society, and the rejection of these characters is a rejection of this society in favor of seeking refuge in the 1970s.
