Why is Krautrock so "hip" compared to prog when it's

>>72529335
it's groovier

it's better

>>72529335
It's less tacky

>>72529335
because it sounds better, ties into philosophic ideas and is not as corny usually

>>72529335
it substitutes composition for grooves
it's much stupider than angloprog at the end of the day

So you admit it's edgier?

Symphonic prog was an attempt to fuse the excesses of the late Romantic era into rock music. Krautrock was an attempt to fuse the brash experimentation of the 20th century Avant-Garde into rock music. Resultantly symphonic prog comes off as cheesy, pretentious and retrograde while Krautrock comes off as legitimately interesting, original and much cooler to say you listen to. Also Krautrock had less commercial success and is less well-known amongst modern-day plebs while symphonic prog is more popular with the "fedora"/"le wrong generation" crowd. I'd also say Krautrock has been more influential in the long run.

Why is that a bad thing? The non-meme definition of edgy is positive, you fucking twit.

>Krautrock is much cooler to listen to and more influential while in contrast symphonic prog is more popular despite being less influential and less cool to listen to than Krautrock, prog is also worse mainly because its inspired by classical music
What the fuck does any of this mean? I can't follow your line of thinking at all

Can someone explain to me how any of these variables affect each other?

>>72529335
It has a cooler name and less people know about it.

There's nothing edgy about krautrock
