Jazz is literally the opposite of "hipster" crap. The greatest jazz musicians are manly blue collar minded guys who also happen to be musical geniuses.

Manly blue collared musicians who love dive bars, booze, hard drugs, and pussy.

Doesn't get less hipster than that.

Exactly. The only way to eradicate jazz is to literally get rid of dive bars, booze, hard drugs and pussy. As long as those 4 things exist, Jazz will survive. LOL

The only difference between a Jazz and metal rock musician is that one wears tight jeans and eyeliner, the other wears suits and wingtips. Aside from that, both are fully capable of stabbing you in alley, helping you score an eight ball or becoming your lifelong friend after a night of complaining about ex's.

Years ago I used to work as a photographer for the local newspaper. I got sent out to shoot a town festival in the area. It was pouring rain so I sat in my car and listened to this album waiting for it to stop. I ended up getting a shot of these kids covered in mud, jumping in puddles with all the carnival rides in the background.

Jazz is a pretty broad genre. I think the general public is just exposed to either the noodling around improv nonsense or the really boring stuff, so it gets a bad rep with many.
