    We'd be talking about proto-prog and proto-proto-prog!

    Yeppers, I'm fairly sure they'll be coming out as part of a 250-disc, 48-bit-remastered, stamped-on-discs-of-pure-iridium, deluxe box set around that time.

    It's kinda like starting with some yellow paint. You can change the color by adding other pigments, but if you change it too drastically, say by adding too much blue to make it green, it is no longer yellow. It is a something else. A new color.

    So by definition, that which we will call prog in 2029 (or 2059) will have the required attributes and sound reminiscent of that which we call prog today. Otherwise, it's not prog.
    Fantastic, except that it's by definition plain wrong, seeing how it completely omits attention to the rather essential axiom of detail that "prog" as concept differs between subjective sender/receiver. In the end it merely comes down to wildly varying levels of insights and interpretation as to given taxonomy. This was luckily why my work colleague was (by the very same definition) wrong when he heard Yes and designated them "[…] not a rock band"; I was forced to explain him certain things which it somehow turned out he wasn't exactly aware of previously. And then, albeit with some reluctance even confronted with academic source and footnotes, he gave in. Yes, at it appeared, was rock after all.

    Although he didn't necessarily like them.

    A resurgence of punk and new wave will make prog even more passe than it is now. A neo-neo-prog will emerge to replace prog and neoprog.

    Will prog fans have moved out of their parents basements by then?

    Hmmm. Well, I think for that to work, you'd have to define "prog" as a specific color to start which is fine if you are defining parameters. But then once you throw the "Prog vs. progressive" curveball, it sets up an entirely different narrative. There will always be a segment of musicians aspiring to create forward leaning music, so in the spirit of things, the progressive spirit will largely remain the same - it will just sound different. Ironically it's that music which seeks to emulate past that we call "Prog" that would be no longer progressive in that case.

    Anyway, there's no need to look into the future to see this. It's already occurred. Progressive music made today seeks to move forward (whether successful or not). Prog seeks to remain traditional. There's enjoyment and merit to be had in both.

    I have a friend in his 50's (used to work for Steve F so he can vouch for me) and no, he will never move out of his parent's basement...

    Despite the cheerful atmosphere here, I am not too optimistic. We need new blood urgently. I mean people in their 20's listening to and playing our music.

    I believe this will naturally happen, in so far that there will always be a counter-culture to the pop world. What shape it will take is anyone's guess, but it won't sound like Yes and Genesis.

    Will it sound more, like, modern, then? ELP meets MC Hammer, Steve Wilsen and Nickelblack?

    There aren't many basements here in the Phoenix area. The ground never freezes, so they've never been necessary. I couldn't live in my parents' basement, even if I wanted to.

    Beats me, but what do i know...

    2029

    • Human-like AI is becoming a reality
    • Heavy automation of supermarkets and retail environments
    • Intelligent advertising is widespread
    • Mass application of gene drives on mosquitoes
    • Global reserves of silver are running out
    • Lake Chad disappears from the map
    • Madagascar's radiated tortoise is extinct in the wild
    • Phase 1 of the California High-Speed Rail line is complete
    • Jupiter's Great Red Spot is disappearing
    • The wreck of the Titanic has decomposed

    I thought this was a question of how prog would change in the next ten years.

    And the answer is, how much did it change in the last ten years!

    In 2029, Bjork will become a grandfather.

    I beg to differ.

    Seeing as it's already been nearly 12 years since this came out, I'd say we're heading straight for the meta-modern:

    I think the transition of guitarists to an adoption of a metal/shredding style of guitar playing is complete for the more current acts.

    Digital technology has been the biggest single disaster to progressive rock. It trivialized the better musicians and opened the door to anyone with a laptop and hard drive filled with plugins and samples to make music and then claim to be a musician.

    The haters and deniers of this fact will continue to perpetuate that everything is handy dandy.

    Given that, VR or virtual reality is on the way into every home. People will plug in for their entertainment with the rising costs of live entertainment and most external entertainment will be gone after the great economic collapse. No one will be able to afford much of anything, yet alone leave the house.
    Drones will deliver goods and food for survival. All social life will be online.

    Progressive Rock in 2029 will be anything uploaded since 2027. The mantra "if it's new" it's progressing therefore progressive.

    Prog rock will be interactive in a VR venue in your own space. You can pick which musician you want to avatar yourself into and you'll find living
    in a place like "2nd Life" is more affordable and practical. Everyone will be a rockstar and be able to live it out in VR. You can pick your band, instruments and even the size and venue for your audience.

    This is exactly what people have been buying into now for decades. It's going in this direction because this is what most people want.
