People who dislike jazz bc "I listen to music like math it's supposed to have complexly balanced rhythmic/harmonic patterns I can know and follow, but when you start randomly scatting and dropping beats it just throws cacophonic wrenches in those and offends the delicate sensibilities of my refined aural palate :c" are such a particularly tedious strain of pretentious oh my god

#the superficial appeal to intellectualism while actually being militantly anti-intellectual if you think about that for half a second #is insane. at best closed-mindes and more often than not just thinly-veiled racism whether conscious or subconscious #relying on the implication that music following the Classical European framework is somehow more 'objectively mathematical'#and thus objectively better than the music frameworks of other cultures #and on top of that it also betrays a painfully simplistic and narrow understanding of math and the fucked up chaos that can go on in it too #lowkey feels like a similar (though ofc much less severely consequential) spirit as '(my 4th grade) biology says there's only 2 genders 😡'
