A place where we go to worship our God, John Petrucci, and where we bow down to the sophisticated genius of Prog Metal!

True Prog Metal Why they are true Dream Theater DAE Petrucci is God? The Contortionist DAE Language!? BtBAM Totes a Prog Metal band, not that Metalcore blasphemy! Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon is the best Prog album ever! Animals as Leaders Instrumental Technical Progressive Jazzchugs. Meshuggah Chugchugchugchugchugchugchugchugchugchugchug PSY Mother, Father Djent[le]men Porcupine Tree DAE Steven (Jesus) Wilson and Mikael (Sex God) Akerfeldt!? Opeth Because Mikael. Rush Influenced Dream Theater. They must be true Prog Metal! Wintersun Grim and Frostbitten = Prog Metal Frozen Soundtrack [Le]terally Wintersun, and ice is pretty damn Prog Metal!

Our new national anthem!

How to be a successful progger.

  1. Prog metal is the evolution of musical expression and experimentalism in rock.

  2. All other genres suck. Only prog is good music.

  3. 4/4 is banned here.

  4. Tool is not prog. Anyone who disagrees isn't a true music fan.

  5. Talent = Technical Skill. Technical skill = Prog.

  6. Stress how open minded you are. State that you like all music, besides pop, rock, techno, rap, trance, electronic, blues, and all their subgenres.

  7. Never lend prog metal CD's to mainstream pop fans. They're too dumb to know what true music is.

  8. Prog metal is intelligent music for intelligent people.

  9. Only bands you like are prog. Any bands you do not like is not prog, and therefore sucks.

  10. Petrucci is God.

How do I get into Dream Theater?

I'm not sure where to start, should I listen to some of their music? How do I do that? A friend said I should check them out on Spotify, what's that?

Most people nowadays...

Most people nowadays only listen to (c)rap and po(o)p. Listening to \m/etal hearkens back to the glory days when sophisticated gentlemen like us listened to deep and complex music, classical music, not all this chaff about fucking b*tches and liking boys. Really, it's because we're more intelligent than most people. :/ but don't try to tell the brainwashed masses that ... they think us metalheads are "weird" and "crazy", when really they're just not educated in the way we are.

So my 11 year old sister impressed reddit today (100% trve story)

I was jamming some Pull me Under today, and since it's Thanksgiving, my family was listening with me. Mom asked why my music was so weird, and before I had a chance to answer, my 11 year old (8/10) sister said "GTFO, scrub, its too complicated for you"
