Does jazz have the worst modern fanbase out of all genres of music?
>literally consists of pseudo-intellectual teenagers trying to impress strangers on the internet and audiophiles
Sad!

you know, some people might just enjoy the music
Aren't you supposed to be on /pol/ spamming Occupy Democrats brand image macros?
bump :^)
jazz is probably the most profound artistic expression through music available
So, when did you all grow out of jazz?
I enjoyed it as a kid, like everyone else, but at 22 or so I began to actually compare it to ogher genres.
>>65726426
So you'd prefer /mu/ to just be memerap, buttrock and waifupop?
No, the 5 out of a thousand people who listen to jazz are not the worst fan base in music.
>>65726426
>he still goes on 4chan after turning 18
Techno is cooler than Jazz ever could be
>>65726474
Boards like /trv/, /ck/, /out/ all are closer to 25 than 18, its just /mu/, /b/ and /v/ full of underagers.

why are you here then my mature and very adult bait thread making friend
>>65726523
I didn't know there was an age limit on listening to music?
Not my thread either.
>>65726547
get with the times grandpa
you're probably deaf anyway
>>65726464
Yes. If I have to consume shit, I prefer it to be solid like the genres you gave rather than a runny incoherent mess like jazz.
>>65726606
>runny incoherent mess like jazz.
what
>>65726678
Where's the harmony? Where's the cohesive melody? Why the aimless noodling. I HATE jazz.
>>65726678
This: >>65726708. Jazz exhibits no artistic choices. You can skip back and forth through a jazz piece and be utterly unable to differentiate those. Jazz performers are just random generators. It takes no intelligence. Jazz listeners undo their sense of expectation from the performer, swallowing anything he produces.

>listened to 3 minutes of the first track of A Love Supreme
pleb
jazz fans are like metal fans except less aggressive and even more pretentious
>>65726837
Don't get me wrong, I like jazz. I love jazz. Just like I love chips, raw ramen noodles, and soda. It's tasty. It's fulfilling. It's also extremely simplistic and easy to consume.
>>65726947
I thought you said it was an incoherent mess.
>>65726970
Correct. Jazz is to, well, let's use the name that you malign for some reason, rock what a piece of national cuisine is to a jar of gruel. Every single harmonic or whichever pseudo-decision is made for its own sake, with no consideration for what -- or whether -- it contributes to the larger whole. Jazz performers just toss in the first thing that comes to their minds. The result is just substandard.

>what a piece of national cuisine is to a jar of gruel
The other way round, of course. Typo.
>>65725798
no, classical has
>>65726708
>I HATE jazz
>>65726947
>Don't get me wrong, I like jazz
I just found something else that's an "incoherent mess"
>>65727017
Do you not know what the word incoherent means? Or substandard? Do you even know how to construct a chord? I don't think you do. I don't think this post is even made by a person. Microsoft has long deployed shitposting bots on /g/; maybe one broke loose and started browsing /r/hiphopheads.
>>65727017
(This, of course, comes from jazz performers' low attention spans. The improvisational etc. ethos is a direct product of not having the patience to think the composition through.)
>>65727045
Meaning, your implication that every critic of jazz is a samefag?
>>65727052
I hold jazz slightly less lower than hip hop. The latter at least tries for some structure or message; it's just the end product that's about as challenging.
>>65727061
>slightly less lower
*slightly lower
>>65727061
fuck off robot
Nope. That's Classical/Chamber/Ensemble or whatever they like to be called these days. Idk how autistic you have to be to listen and re-listen to same old compositions over and over but with different players in different keys but judging from how acidic Classical forums are I'd say that being massive shithead is practically a requirement.
>>65727092
A boring classical composition is still better than a jazz noncomposition.

I never memorized ASCII, but I am going to guess that since '01100110' repeats itself only twice not thrice, the '01100110 01100110' does not stand for 'll' in 'kill yourself', but for 'gg' in 'faggot'.

How can you tell they are fat? Are you some kind of psychologist?

better, i'm a passive aggressive faggot on the internet

'Not all jazz is like that!'

jazz is warmer
