I always thought that progressive had something to do with the fact that someone is creating something unique, original, not related with anything else.

Musical characteristics for "proggressive music" (aply mostly in rock , but i think for this topic it fit as well)

*avoid common popular music song structures

*Progressive music is designed mainly for listening, rather than for dancing, which meant that prog artists are able to use unusual rythms changing time signatures

* less predictable chord progressions


now , can u say what defined as "proggressive trance" fit into this criteria ?
i dare say no , its aimed to be dance music , usualy very predictable , and more pop vibe then oldschool classic psytrance

but names of sub-sub-sub genres (electronic-trance-proggressive) change from day to day , so dont take it too cirious and just know the artist u like listen to
