Why did jazz die as a genre after 1970?
>>130577356The answer is the same as last time: Jazz is about two things.Being classy and getting high.By banning their drugs/making the grey market ones harder to access the government created an unsolvable Catch 22 because being a criminal isn't classy.Rock had no problem integrating criminal behaviors because it was never classy or conformist so it just kept chugging along.Rap on the other hand embraces criminality so blacks that wanted to make music and get high went there instead.
Because rock rapes jazz
>>130577356same reason baseball did.too slow.get to the point nigga, instead of noodling around endlessly.
the jazz platform of smoky beatnik bars started dying out in favour of disco dancefloors
>>130577356Jazz schools became much more popular beginning in the 1970s. And that was that.
>>130577356Fusion.Jazz with rock instruments is not cool.
>>130577356You know there's still jazz now...It's your choice to only listen to old shit.
>>130577356black people ran out of ideas
>>130578007you dont listen to jazz so how would you know>>130579448retard>>130580152this
>>130577356jazz was definitely running out of gas in the 60s, a lot of established stars like Sinatra, Ella, Julie London, etc were being fed increasingly poor material
>>130577356Sometimes things just get boring
>>130577356It died after 1977
>>130577356jazz ran its natural course (happens with every genre) + rock (more varied) took over. the proliferation of fusionslop certainly didn't help jazz either
>>130580152Miles Davis begs to differ
>>130577356Wynton Marsalis killed it.
>>130578007For most of its existence, jazz was bar music. It wasn't classy at all. Jazz musicians would play in run down bars for a paycheck, spend their check on heroin, and then come back the next day to do it over again. Jazz musicians would regularly get into bar fights and fights with each other. Participation in organized crime was common. The real jazz killer was WWII. Once the bar and night life scene changed post-WWII, jazz was already on borrowed time. People wanted music that was simpler, louder, more danceable and immediately accessible. The direction jazz was going creatively with bebop and hard bop was directly opposed to that. They got their golden age in the 50s, and jazz musicians were able to hang on through the 60s through clout from rock stars. After that, they were done. Not enough new blood to keep the flame alive, and the new blood that were there were all squares from Julliard.
>>130577356It literally didn't even get good until jazz fusion and smooth jazz. Good jazz starts in 1982
>>130585058Babe new pasta just dropped
>>130585075Save it, it's all yours my friend :^)
>>130585066a take this bad warrants the death penalty
jazz got too elitist, for academics, it lives on through high school jazz band classes though.it was also overtaken by rock, and then rap, and electronic music as the form of popular music
>>130577356That's way to early a proposed date for the death of jazz. The late 70s disco era was the true nadir of the genre
Because jazz never actually died and it still thrives to this day unlike all the genres that supposedly "killed" it
>>130577356It started becoming academic.

Jokes on you.The bezz jazz is fuzzion jazz.
>>130585066>hecking POP MELODIES and POWER CHORDSkinda happy rock is dying
>>130577356It didn't, unless you're an insufferable purist who thinks the genre died when they started using electricity.
