prog rock is a real thing while krautrock is just a meme genre
99% of krautrock is just prog rock made in Germany

krautrock effectively means german progressive rock from the late 60's through the mid 70's
germans themselves call it cosmic music, which might be a more indicative term of the style

krautrock is a style of progressive rock from late 60's - 70's West Germany, whose main features included samples and sound collages, looping beats, and heavy improvisation. It was very influential in the shaping of modern popular music.
As I always understood it, krautrock is typically considered a subgenre of prog
However, krautrock tends to rely much more heavily on improvisation and draw much greater influence from psychedelic and electronic music than your average prog + the fact that most krautrock is almost entirely instrumental
I might be wrong on some of this

Fucking moron
I'd say that krautrock is basically a minimalistic version of prog (and minimalistic in the sense of minimalism within music). It's effectively a subgenre, really.

its kinda like prog is indian food and krautrock is curry. Same thing, specific type

It's pretty much that, though, if you do know what minimalism in music is.
