it is kinda funny to me when ppl say things in the vein of “jazz is perfect to represent rouge because of it’s chaotic nature”, cause like sure, okay, i can understand why you’d say that, but that’s the kinda thing you say when you have not listened to any jazz at all.

jazz can seem chaotic, sure, but it seems odd to me to define the whole umbrella of jazz as chaotic when you absolutely have not listened to actually chaotic sounding jazz subgenres like bebop. i just generally extremely dislike the descriptor of “chaotic” for jazz because i think it’s fundamentally untrue, there is absolutely logic and order in jazz, it’s built upon a rich tradition. jazz can be complex, frantic, energetic, and is often improvisational, but i don’t think it’s chaotic.

also i think that suits rouge far better than actual chaos, cause rouge is absolutely a complex and logical person, she just acts first and foremost on her desires

#it’s also funny to say that about rouge’s themes specifically cause while i can’t know 100%#they’re very probably super tightly written and produced #definitionally not chaotic #it just has samba influenced percussion lines it’s fine it’s okay #<- spoken like i’m calming a spooked horse #rambles #music posting #it is insane to me to say rouge’s jazz is chaotic and not say the same for shadow’s digital hardcore/electro-industrial/whatever the fuck #like between those two the jazz is absolutely not my first pick for ‘chaotic’#be real.#idk maybe i’m just getting caught up on a semantic difference but it rubs me the wrong way #i’m not trying to vague anything specific i’ve just seen this sort of thing said about a lot of jazz in non-jazz circles
