Neo-progressive rock (or often shortened to neo-prog not to be confused with the significantly more modern new prog) is a sub-genre of progressive rock developed in the UK and popular in the 1980s although it lives on today.Neo-progressive rock is characterized by deeply emotional content often delivered via dramatic lyrics and a generous use of imagery and theatricality on-stage. The music is mostly the product of careful composition relying less heavily on improvised jamming.
