Is this music a fad

[cookiecutter]

The controversy I always associated with jazz was the illegal substances as Jreq says. But Susperia is right in that for most people illegal substances are not nearly as controversial as burning down symbols of their religion.

Edit: Forgot the plural of drug was a banned word

Pfft. Jazz was pure evil to everyone's parents in the early 1900s, same as rock or heavy metal or rap were later down the line. The old dixieland sound was considered substantially boisterous by many at one point. Then there's the drug use associated with much of the scene later on (e.g. Coltrane). The word "jazz" was actually used as slang for sexual acts at one point. If you've still got grandparents who are alive and playing with a full deck, you should ask them about it some time.

All my grandparents are dead. =( I'll ask my boyfriend, since he's a Jazz major. He hates music history though so who knows!

Cookiecutter- Except burning shit wasn't by far the worst thing that went down in BM history.

I don't care if metal is a fad or not. I'm enjoying it now.

Damn right. With the great expanse of good metal right now the genre will never die, there will always be people who, even after it dies (if it dies) rediscover the great library of music in metal, and bring it back. I don't think it will, but if it does, it will resurrect.

Actually.

There is that new shittyass trend amongst scenesters that has to do with liking "death metal". Of course most of it is metalcore, and some of it is very very shitty death metal, (Through the Eyes of the Dead, All Shall Perish, etc.) but it's becoming a fad.

But, just as long as they don't come to school wearing Carcass shirts I'll be fine.

I saw a guy at school today wearing an Arghoslent shirt. I almost shat my pants

Jazz and blues are still popular, and they've been around for going on 100 years now.

Surely if it was a fad it'd be over by now.
