Jazz is the lowest selling mainstream music genre according to CD and digital sales

>goes goes to college for jazz guitar
>never shuts the fuck up about jazz
fuck jazz

I know this might be too complex for you user, but music genres aren't just a sliding scale between Maroon 5 and Bach

The majority of time when normies say they "like" jazz, theyre listening to jazz playlists on youtube and spotify and couldn't even name bazic artists like miles davis and john coltrane. Jazz is seen as background music and only associated with being "chill af bro" to normies so theyre most likely not going to go out of their way to buy a jazz album

It's tough to market a genre where the only real selling point is artists being able to improvise.

Jazz was popular and revolutionary before much like punk/grunge was popular and revolutionary before, because it carried a social and political stance along with it.

haha you described me tho i try not to mention im not a jazz guitarist, you know, because we are often better than others

>t. jazz pedestrian
Accepting jazz IS background noise is when you come full circle on appreciation.

What a dumb post
Classical is Inferior to Jazz by the standards of jazz music
Popular is inferior to jazz music by the standards of jazz music

kek supreme
a kek supreme

jazz is popular music that figured out it was actually art - at which point, like all things it began to be too advanced to be popular and was superseded by new technologies of shallow music making and the west's faux-Puritanism - which forces eroticism where it does not belong by denying its existence.

im not totally into jazz but i can appreciate it. Most people however, cannot.

>my taste is superior to normies
Whoa.

>We are always taught that jazz music is a very revolutionary and great thing

Me, faggot.

>jazz is popular music that figured out it was actually art
please explain when music becomes "art"

>it began to be too advanced to be popular
you mean masturbatory

i think jazz is supposed to have less streams than classical too though

no YOU mean masturbatory because thats the limit you can conceive of

jazz is more fun to play than to listen to

ok give me an example then

im not sure i can, because anything you dont like you will call masturbatory

I guess when you said advanced I assumed avant-garde, which I am biased against and while i don't deny the content of more "cerebral" music I do object to the concept... but I'm just clarifying my view, not really addressing what you just posted, my headphones aren't working anyway lol

you've dusted up an interesting topic: art. avant garde, cerebral . . . but i might be to drunk to do it justice.

However: this bit of Krupa is maximally popular and maximally modernist, which is why its fascinating and danceable.

Jazz midwit cope

a kek deferred explodes you dumb cunt

Many classical albums are indeed new recordings of established favorites. But many are also recordings of lesser-known pieces from all eras.

this is a musical version of your post:

The social purpose jazz once had can be achieved more efficiently by newer genres of music. Jazz was superseded decades ago.

normies don't know jack shit about jazz, retard.

of course JAZZ wasnt superseded - as it cannot be be - but the mainline to ass town was hijacked.

unironically the masses aren’t usually intelligent enough to appreciate jazz.
they need to be spoonfed easy stuff that doesn’t deviate from a formula and takes absolutely zero thought to understand.

wtf I love jews now

what does midwit supposed to mean?

people can't hear jazz.
just like how rock people say rap sucks. Rap doesnt suck, they just cant hear it.

the mainstream cant hear rap and it takes time to learn to hear it. which is why im ok with jazz dying. not being forgotten though.

rap isn't music though

rap has become so boring, I can’t wait til it dies too.
but not forgotten of course.

Jazz stopped being popular when it stopped being pop music, that’s really all there is to it. Rock also wouldn’t have survived in the mainstream nearly as long as it did if artists kept doing more complex prog wankery. There’s only so much a genre can do before it’s pushed the limits of an easy listening pop format so it becomes more and more complex and the dumb masses move on to different sounds

Good point honestly, as artists evolve in their music, they start pushing the boundaries of their genres making it difficult for the normie to listen to you they just migrate to the next thing they can play in the background

What’s the visible ratio of Jazz songs to instrumental pieces without vocalists?

It always seems that people who play jazz enjoy it more than the average joe

Of mediocre intelligence, as opposed to the properly stupid and the actually intelligent. Think journalist or jazz listener.

Because jazz is more enjoyable as an exercise in musicianship than as an listened experience.

Because even classical, as unpopular it may be, leaves a lasting impression on the casual listener. Classical has distinct melodies. Jazz is mostly noodling wankery and its compositions have the lasting impression of a hockey game, not an impressionable artistic statement. It all kinda sounds the fucking same and no jazz composition is as memorable or enjoyable as any moderately-popular classical piece is to the average listener

>lame unfunny buzzword
got it, discarded

>haha you’re only as smart as you actually are but also you aren’t stupid and I’m going to explicitly tell you that you aren’t and this is somehow an insult
you realize this is only an effective insult if someone considers them self a genius, right?

the left really can’t meme.
you hate to see it.

I can say nigger with the best of them, midwit.

What's cool is how no matter where the music is played there will be someone who hears something that resonates with them.

thanks I know I’m moderately intelligent and not stupid, retard nigger genius.
I appreciate the compliment

There are classical pieces that are meant yo be wankery too. Just like with classical music, jazz has a whole lot of genres within it that can be intricately thought out compositions, or avant garde like Om. You can play the head of Giant Steps or So What and the average person will probably hear the melodies as familiar.

Lmao

You’re a gay retard but nice trips

Rap is the new mainstream tho, most of my zoomer friends (south american) are starting to be born into it, so they can't hear rock, maybe if it's really pop

This only works on /lit/, dude. Nobody is trying to be smart here

Yeah i can hear a love supreme in my head

Du dum du dum

(not true, by the way)
when I listened to Black Saint and the Sinner Lady for the first time it blew my fucking mind and I remember every note of it
