often times, there is this frustrating artificial divide created which works from the assumption that prog is the opposite of punk, and that the two things are entirely incompatible---i see this as very false, and the whole 'rock in opposition' subgenre of prog is a big part of why.

totally agree that this is very false and ignorant. i can see how this idea originated, we all know the story of "prog kind of destroyed itself when yes released tales from topographic oceans and then punk came along and destroyed whatever was left of it." but only a few years later, there was post-punk, which was already a lot more experimental and out there than regular punk. even at the time, people were like "oh the punk bands are now doing the artsy and 'pretentious' stuff they claimed to hate about prog" lol

i'm not a fan of "normal punk rock" for the most part but i love a lot of stuff in punk-adjacent genres: pronk, post-punk, punk jazz etc.
