Do you think trip hop will ever be looked at in the same way as jazz?
 

Will it be a genre that will stand the test of time and be given a lot of respect? Or will it remain relatively obscure?

Jazz was really radical at the time because it broke all the rules, like every round of pop music that followed. When the kids started getting into Rock 'n Roll there were die hard Jazz fans who would not let go. Jazz was that generations rebellious music. It belonged to them. Trip-hop will always belong to the people who loved it the most BUT because of the multitude of different music styles prevalent in the 1990's and early 2000's the percentage of the population that experienced Trip-Hop and loved Trip-Hop will be less than those who were Jazz enthusiasts. Therefore Jazz has lasting value because of it's audience and cultural impact. There were always be Jazz purists and those Jazz purists will be replaced by 90's grunge purists, techno enthusiasts, and Trip-Hop fanatics. Because of the specificity of the genre the intensity of the potential fanbase is fractured.

Jazz from Fresh Prince? Dj Jazzy Jeff?

sorry.

What I meant was that there will always be someone to fill that void, whether it be 90's grunge enthusiasts or new wave fans or people who just wont let disco die.

yes

basically media and art have become extremely fractured and specialized. No one has to tap into the mainstream of pop thought anymore to find music if they don't want. I can find outlets and venues to hear whatever kind of music I already want to hear.

hip hop is looked at with the same reverance as jazz. talking exclusively about a sub-genre is irrelevant.

tricky question

I mean jazz has become a "culturally canonized" art form. You can go to public school and learn to play jazz music. Hip hop has not crossed that boundary yet, probably because it is still relevant to young people

Good 'ol Catherine Wheel.

And if you're asking will "trip-hop" ever be a household term like "jazz" then no of course not.

trip hop reynolds

i think it has

What the fuck do high school kids listen to now?

THE SOUND OF GUNFIRE OFF IN THE DISTANCE

rock music has been around ~twice as long as hip hop and it still is not really close to entering the public psychology as a "highbrow" art form the way jazz has, and hip hop is even less so

I've always considered trip-hop as an extension of jazz. IMHO It's far more related to it than to hip-hop musically.

no it's not

there's still plenty of people that hate it because they don't understand it

I actually do hate jazz though but how many people other than me and Vince Noir say that out loud?

Jazz is sooooo not punk rock.

jazz will always be a bitch to play

therefore i cannot dislike it

Catherine Wheel why don't you stick to shoegaze records, k?

Some trip hop artists like Jay Jay Johanson, Thievery Corporation, Zero 7, and Portishead definitely have a jazz feel to them. I like trip hop and jazz for some of the same reasons. The experimental nature of both. The mellowness.

jazz is about as punk as it gets.

free form wankery is very un punk
