To ME, there’s only two types of jazz genres: “normal” jazz that normal people who listen to popular music can get down to and experimental jazz that only record-collecting or Internet-dwelling nerds enjoy.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting you but you say this as if no one makes this exact same argument about classical, rock, electronica, etc

Well, from that perspective, yeah, I guess you’re right. It just SEEMS more apparent with genres like jazz and, as you mentioned, classical music. In popular culture, smooth jazz, fusion styles, 59-60s trad pop, and 20s big band are mainstream-recognized whereas, there’s whole other world of fanaticism for third stream, free jazz, and avant-garde jazz.

It seems that way because jazz and classical are older. They've had more time to branch out into weirder, unexplored territories and subgenres with notorious reputations, though I'd argue we're already seeing this happen with other genres like hip hop, metal, industrial, etc. It's a pretty standard phenomenon that happens to many, if not most, musical traditions.

90% of the popular jazz out there is the same recycled kenny g shit that people put on in the background. its just the same shit over and over again, nothing interesting to it. you don't even have to search far for good jazz, coltrane and davis are surface level jazz musicians and they're some of the all time greats. avant jazz is good too btw

If you don't like jazz guitar, you're missing Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, George Benson, João Gilberto, Django Reinhardt, Charlie Christian, Grant Green, Jim Hall, John McLaughlin, Earl Klugh, Eric Gale, Larry Carlton, Laurindo Almeida, Lee Ritenour, Ralph Towner, John Abercrombie, Herb Ellis, Al Di Meola, Lenny Breau , John Scofield, Charlie Byrd, Allan Holdsworth, Larry Coryell, Gabor Szabo, Stanley Jordan, Tal Farlow, Pat Metheny, Kenny Burrell, Barney Kessell, Grant Green and Jim Hall, to mention but a few. You can find a fairly short though quite precise article about the history of the jazz guitar here https://www.guitarchords247.com/the-history-of-jazz-guitar/. As for the drums, though not always at the forefront of jazz pieces, they do play an important part in the formation of jazz, especially when irregular time signatures are used. I do, however, get your point and I can and do enjoy jazz groups, such as trios, for example piano, bass and saxophone make a great combo

All music created by black people was stolen by white that made more money with this kind of music than their creators... All because racism. Look at for Rock and Roll, there are lot of racists playing a music created by niggers. Black people that were humiliateds in the beginning of the genre, suddenly appear Presley - a white guy - and usurped all their space. Today the situation is worst. Because of this all white person playing Rap is so ashamed, 'cause white people already stole a lot of this all. I know a few metal and Rock bands with black people, and all people seeing this black person think strange a nigger playing Rock and Roll instead rap music. As a black man that I am, I know what I mean, maybe white people do not understand it. USA is the most racist country in the world, republicans and democrats, new Germany Nazi. Shame on y'all.
