what even is elitism?
Chase Torres
No, but tourism is keeping jazz shit
Joshua Harris
Elitism is keeping jazz good. That's why Yea Forums doesn't listen to modern jazz.
Jaxon King
It’s simple really:
Anybody who doesn’t like a popular album that I like is an elitist.
Anybody who doesn’t like or hasn’t heard of an obscure album that I like is a tourist.
Brandon Powell
What jazz albums do elitists listen to?
Noah Bailey
You do realize that Davis, Coltrane, Mingus, etc doesn't even represent 0.1% of all the great jazz out there right?
Adam Bailey
Yeah so post some more
Brandon Taylor
I could. But I won't.
Justin Foster
its keeping jazz alive
precisely. Yea Forums is literally lowest common denominator experimental music. if an album is spammed here it's either because it's canonized, like RIL, or because it's accessible shit for teenagers, like 90% of the shit posted
Adam Johnson
Why would we tell you? We want jazz to be exclusive to those who are in the know who shitters like you don't drive the jazz market towards shitty normie friendly jazz like it happened with Kamashi Washington or whatever.
Spoonfeeding is bad.

Jazz is alive and well. People just don't buy music anymore, which is a problem.
Alexander Fisher
what's that album have to do with elitism?
Adam Martinez
Yea Forums hates it
Gavin Martin
There is no "elitism" that prevents its following from growing, but like certain forms of music there is a level of knowledge necessary for appreciation of the genre that is unlike popular music.

Joseph Garcia
I can’t tell anymore what’s bait and what’s genuine autism. Fucking Yea Forumstants
Angel Morales
Jazz used to be "popular music" back in the day. Bebop killed that off.
Dylan Johnson
Bullshit, bebop was selling well in the 50's-60's

Isn't Kind of Blue like the best-selling jazz record of all times?
