Why is Jazz total shit? It's literally just noodling around the same notes over a simplistic rhythm with no dynamics to speak of. 90% of it sounds the same, the "compositions" don't emote anything meaningful or transcendental, there's nothing to challenge the ear at all. What reason could people think up wanting to listen to this crap?

I partially agree with you but
>simplistic rhythms
do you know what jazz is?

I'm going to assume this is bait, because nobody that has ever actually listened to any jazz music would describe it like that, regardless of whether or not they hated it.

I agree


I'm tired of hearing about it. Believe me I've tried. I just hate the parts I hate about it more than I like the little things there are to like. The batting average is just so low I can't bear the dead time between highlights being filled with all that noodling. It's vain music.

You have absolutely no fucking clue what you're talking about.

>Just noodling around the same notes

Jazz is the least repetitive genre there is.

>Simplistic rhythms

What? The complex polyrhythms are one of the reasons why jazz is so acclaimed.

>No dynamics

Listen to pic.

>90% of it sounds the same

Yeah dude, big band, hard bop, cool jazz, free jazz, jazz fusion, chamber jazz, it all sounds exactly the same.

>The "compositions" don't emote anything meaningful or transcendental

I bet you get all emotional over the 3-minute verse-chorus-verse pop songs on the radio.

>There's nothing to challenge the ear at all

That's why people get so easily into the genre, right? Right?

What the fuck? You must have no heart if this doesn't affect you emotionally in any way:

Then why are the same instruments used in nearly every subgenre

>Yeah dude, big band, hard bop, cool jazz, free jazz, jazz fusion, chamber jazz, it all sounds exactly the same.
Yeah that's a lot of different types fosure but quantity is not the same as quality

>I bet you get all emotional over the 3-minute verse-chorus-verse pop songs on the radio.
At least that has structure. Also are you really attacking pop music in 2015 tho lol

Jazz is pretty easy to get into man.

Why does rock always use the same instruments?

>Yeah that's a lot of different types fosure but quantity is not the same as quality

Don't try to evade the point, you said it all sounds the same and I proved you wrong, period.

>Also are you really attacking pop music in 2015 tho lol

>Uses Tumblr gif
>Is a poptimist

And you want your opinion on a genre with 100 years of history to be valid? Fuck off, dude.

thank you for recognizing the stupidity of mentioning the current year in an argument
i don't get leftists, do they think history is linear or something?

I think you're bait, but anyway i'll break it down for you.

REPETITION IS IN EVERY GENRE.
That's the reason they're classified in the genre, because they're similar compared to every other music. A pop song is generic, a rock song is generic and a jazz song is generic. But its doesn't mean its don't have its special something I find jazz really relaxing I don't know much theory but the improvisation, the notes used pleases me. I and others enjoy it, you don't.

I'm not going to say pop is shit, I enjoy many genre but you should really get into jazz and stop being so close-minded.

[add jazz chart] I can't find it
>>
jesus fucking christ if you cant handle improvisation just listen to cool jazz
>>
btw jazz is fun as fuck, you're most likely a retard if you can't "get into it," w/e that means.
