Higher IQ for Progressive? Completely Wrong.
The more minimal and darker stuff is actually deeper and harder to understand. Progressive Trance is more for E-Tards/Candy Ravers (usually ages 12-18) and pop fans that is why almost every pop-trance track (Sandstorm for instance) has been of the progressive persuasion.

ive never heard anyone call Sandstorm progressive trance...ever. when i think of prog trance i think of something like jimmy van m's Bedrock album. or maybe markus shulz's mixes.

i really have never heard anyone call darude prog-anything. its dance/club trance garbage.

I agree it is absolute garbage but it is Def more on the Prog side of trance.

I am just more into Acid trance...And I highly disagree that prog trance is more intelligent than any other style of trance.

I personally don't personally use progressive _________ as a genre name, but as an adjective to simply how the track is built:

Today, the term "progressive" in dance music has come to refer to the structure of a track with more gradual changes

As opposed to a few sudden changes in the track, from one repetitive loop to another repetitive loop. Or worse yet, no changes at all.

Most electronic dance music tracks released today contain features that are relatively easy for DJs to beatmatch records together, partly for that reason. Unlike the song structures of genres like hard house or Hi-NRG, the peaks and troughs in a progressive dance track tend to be more complex. Layering different sounds on top of each other and slowly bringing them in and out is key to the progressive movement.

It is somewhat synonomous to "varied", "complex", "intelligent".

Essentially, I consider progressive the OPPOSITE of this:

And there have been a million viewers and the track is rated 5 stars.

I believe after being reminded that such monstrosities exist in this world you will agree there is a desperate need for a word that would separate real music from such abomination. I would never dare to say that I listen to trance, if this is brain-barf of a sick monkey is also considered trance. It seems that many people have begun to use "progressive" as such a word, to seperate the soup from the vomit, the jelly from the slime, the nuggets of chocolate from the nuggets of poo.

I guess my use of the word might be debatable, though I don't think it's limited to just me. As per OP (who also seems to consider it more important wether or not the track is progressive, than wether it is house or trance or etc).

The genres you mentioned that you consider superior to progressive trance, I would probably define also as progressive trance themselves.

For illustration, here's a track that is neither house, trance, nor any specific genre really, but is progressive. You can tell it's progressive. It smells of progression. I am sure OP will like this more than most all non-progressive trance, non-progressive house and non-progressive etc. Because it's progressive, and that's the most important thing.
