You can hide behind the intense wankery as evidence that the musicians are supposedly good, but jazz will never have an impact on the larger culture ever again. Enjoy your genre that accounts for 1 percent of all record sales and streams.
It really matters!
and?
Is there some point you're trying to make or are we just firing off platitudes?
the culturally irrelevancy is irrelevant because jazz isn't even art !
Why would you save that pic on you computer
Is there anyone under the age of 60 who actually likes jazz (as opposed to only saying they like it for cool points) and ISN'T a white hipster? Strange how black people don't listen to it anymore. Now that really tells you something.
That's because rap takes less effort and young black kids are lazy af
Jazz was up there as one of the most relevant forms for the first half of the 20th century.
But yeah it won't ever be massively relevant again, not in any straightforward, older sense of the genre.
It will occasionally crisscross across other burgeoning forms as a kind of ether or 'content', like it did somewhat in hip-hop and drum n bass (or house), but not by way of the structurally improvisational means by which that flavor first emerged.
I do, and I'm a mulatto hipster.
>mulatto
gross. enjoy only getting laid by brown women who want to fantasize about being with a white man
