Why is prog with long instrumental passages called wank? Wouldn't

because wankery is a term that describes musical passages where you could imagine the instrumentalist being like inside of his own world while playing and it sounds almost exxagerated (what doesn't exclude quality) all the time, like one wanted to show others that he is really the best and has the whole fucking control of the stuff he's doing, like, "look at me, I resemble tridimesional mathematical patterns with music while playing 50 notes per second!"

That can be really compared to wanking, because, you know , while wanking you have also all the control to you, lol.

holy shit you're right

/mu/ is so full of literal and mental teenagers that are deathly afraid of being seen as wankers, but "wanking" has given us most of our best music.

I'm dead laughing right now
