Audience Research

Most of the major progressive rock musicians were born and raised in south England between 40's to 50's. Before the mid 70's, central and northern England were more working class and blue collar while the south and east of England were more professional and white collar. Prog Rock refers from classical music, art and literature of high culture so the style would not have sprung from a working class environment. We can understand why most Prog Rock bands were from the south England.

The typical audience of a Prog Rock genre would have the same background with the musicians, similar age, educational background and view on art and literature. The ratio of gender audience is equal, so both men and women listen to progressive rock.
