Excerpts from Wikipedia:

Progressive rock abandons the danceable beat that defines earlier rock styles[5] and is more likely to experiment with compositional structure, instrumentation, harmony and rhythm, and lyrical content.[6] It may demand more effort on the part of the listener than other types of music.[7] Musicians in progressive rock typically display a high degree of instrumental skill.[8] [9] Musical forms are blurred through the use of extended sections and of musical interludes that bridge separate sections together, which results in classical-style suites. Early progressive rock groups expanded the timbral palette of the then-traditional rock instrumentation by adding instruments more typical of folk music, jazz or music in the classical tradition. A number of bands, especially at the genre's onset, recorded albums in which they performed together with a full orchestra.[10] Progressive rock artists are more likely to explore complex time signatures such as 5/8 and 7/8.[11] Tempo, key and time signature changes are common within progressive rock compositions.[12]

Progressive metal (sometimes known as prog metal or prog-metal) is a subgenre of both progressive rock and heavy metal, originating in the United Kingdom and the United States In the 1970s. Progressive metal blended elements of heavy metal and progressive rock music, taking the loud "aggression"[2] and amplified electric guitar-driven sound of the former, with the more experimental, complex and "pseudo-classical" compositions of the latter.[2] Progressive metal often utilises the conceptual themes associated with progressive rock. Throughout the years, progressive metal has borrowed influences from several other genres, including classical and jazz fusion music.

Djent as a style is characterized by progressive, rhythmic, and technical complexity.[7] It typically features heavily distorted, palm-muted guitar chords, syncopated riffs[4] and polyrhythms alongside virtuoso soloing.[2] Another common feature is the use of extended range seven or eight-string guitars.[11]
