Reply #19: Why are so many jazz and blues fans so arrogant?

[Delano]

I've listened to enough jazz and blues to know I don't care for much of it. Blues is boring and depressing, and old-style jazz is just boring. The record sales bear that out.

Don't be mad at the vast majority of people for not sharing your taste in music.

I'm not mad at you guys for not liking pop & rock.

BTW, there are a few exceptions - I used to enjoy a little Anita Baker or Robert Cray, but the "real" blues whose authenticity the fans always swooning over doees NOTHING for me.

It is supreme arrogannce to say that anybody who likes their music "processed, homogenized, overproduced, pop, etc.) is "stupid" and yet I can't count the times I've heard jazz/blues aficionados say that.
