if you think any of those genres have changed one bit.

Fact is, every present day genre owes itself to the past, whether we like it or not.

We would not have modern music without classical, no ****. Progressive means to move away from the past. What was prog back in the day is not prog now, what is prog now won't be in an equal amount of time.

To say post punk (for example) has stagnated, despite the amount of bands out there that are clearly influenced by the genre and then follow that up with the "prog has nothing to do with the past" comment, is preposterous.

Those genres really left no room for change, that is why they have stagnated. Tell me of one Post Punk band that is not a clone of Joy Division. Tell me of one electronica DJ that does not play the same mixes from years ago. Tell me how hip-hop is even in the running?
