Neo-Progressive rock, more commonly Neo-Prog, is a subgenre of progressive rock that originally was used to describe artists strongly influenced by the classic symphonic prog bands that flourished during the 1970's.

Others contend it began with the band Twelfth Night at the dawn of the 80's, while some even earlier. Read more here.
