how is Steely Dan not categorized with fusion? from what I know they're considered "jazz rock" but isn't that what fusion technically is?
if it's unhip to people they just call it yacht rock, even if it's pretty good
>>132107945they're pop. there are influences from jaz, rock, r&b, but all their music exists within a 70s pop format.
does it really matter?

Genre fagging is incredibly gay. But in the strictest sense, no, basically nothing they did matched the sound of "jazz fusion". Listen to any of the Davis proteges and you'll see what that means immediately
>>132107945>how is Steely Dan not categorized with fusion? from what I know they're considered "jazz rock" but isn't that what fusion technically is?I am not sure. but Steely Dan might not qualify to be "fusion" cause their songs are too radio friendly. Catchy melodies, standard song structure with a chorus. Fusion is more experimental, chaotic and revolves around improvisation

Fusion is jazz for girls
genre tagging also inflames my autism

>>132107945jazz fusion is usually more instrumental or predominantly jazz structure with the rock/pop secondary as more texture/flavoring, like the kind of shit on the smooth jazz station. "jazz rock" like steely dan has verse chorus verse pop structure with the jazz secondary
