"[[Post-progressive]]" is a term invented to distinguish a type of rock music from the persistent "progressive rock" style associated with the 1970s.{{sfn|Hegarty|Halliwell|2011|p=224}} In the mid to late 1970s, progressive music was denigrated for its assumed pretentiousness, specifically the likes of [[Yes (band)|Yes]], [[Genesis (band)|Genesis]], and [[Emerson, Lake & Palmer]].{{sfn|Rojek|2011|p=28}} According to musicologist John Covach, "by the early 1980s, progressive rock was thought to be all but dead as a style, an idea reinforced by the fact that some of the principal progressive groups has developed a more commercial sound. [...] What went out of the music of these now ex-progressive groups [...] was any significant evocation of art music."{{sfn|Covach|1997|p=5}} In the opinion of King Crimson's [[Robert Fripp]], "progressive" music was an attitude, not a style. He believed that genuinely "progressive" music pushes stylistic and conceptual boundaries outwards through the appropriation of procedures from classical music or jazz, and that once "progressive rock" ceased to cover new ground – becoming a set of conventions to be repeated and imitated – the genre's premise had ceased to be "progressive".{{sfn|Macan|1997|p=206}} {{anchor|Progressive punk}}

A direct reaction to prog came in the form of the [[punk movement]], which rejected classical traditions,{{sfn|Rojek|2011|p=28}} virtuosity, and textural complexity.{{sfn|Covach|1997|p=5}}{{refn|group=nb|Groups such as [[the Sex Pistols]], [[the Clash]], and the [[Ramones]] adopted a "back-to-basics" stance, embracing the roots of rock music with direct sentiments, simple chord structures, and uncluttered arrangements.{{sfn|Rojek|2011|p=28}} While punk rock appeared to be a negation of progressive rock, both styles of music derived from the idea of a cultural alternative.{{sfn|Macan|2005|p=250}} }} [[Post-punk]], which author Doyle Green characterizes "as a kind of {{'}}'''progressive punk'''{{'"}},{{sfn|Greene|2014|p=173}} was played by bands like [[Talking Heads]], [[Pere Ubu]], [[Public Image Ltd]], and [[Joy Division]].{{sfn|Rojek|2011|p=28}} It differs from punk rock by balancing punk's energy and skepticism with a re-engagement with an [[art school]] consciousness, [[Dadaist]] experimentalism, and atmospheric, ambient soundscapes. It was also majorly influenced from [[world music]], especially African and Asian traditions.{{sfn|Rojek|2011|p=28}} In the same period, [[new wave music]] was more sophisticated in production terms than some contemporaneous progressive music, but was largely perceived as simplistic, and thus had little overt appeal to art music or art-music practice.{{sfn|Covach|1997|p=5}} Musicologist [[Bill Martin (philosophy)|Bill Martin]] writes; "[Talking] Heads created a kind of new-wave music that was the perfect synthesis of punk urgency and attitude and progressive-rock sophistication and creativity. A good deal of the more interesting rock since that time is clearly 'post-Talking Heads' music, but this means that it is post-progressive rock as well."{{sfn|Martin|1998|p=251}}
