A random portfolio manager nobody cares about posted this tweet just as an aside.
Note that this guy may have a wrong opinion (at least to me) but of course, who should care about this? It's not like this was a celebrity or artist like James Blake saying the saxophone is a bad instrument in an interview.
Here's the reactions:
I'll be the one to say it, calling Japanese jazz better than American Jazz is for sure racist.
I disagree
I think I'll probably just block you for being a racist p-dophile
I agree
These are big statements built off of what is ultimately personal taste.
Output is shaped by culture, and reinforced through shared preference.
So all you're seeing is where your preferences intersect.
An actual rational opinion
"""Same here"""
A lot of you are exposing yourselves as anti-Black, Asian fetishizers, or both on here.
I argued with this guy before about Miles Davis biographies and biographers. I won.
Whether trolling or not I'm adding this to my file of top-notch bait
"Japanese jazz is superior to American jazz" you literally just hate Black people

I heavily disagree with the Herbie Hanpeepee and Miles Davis comment but Return to Forever and Mahavishnu Orchestra definitely inspired "Japanese jazz".
Lmao, the gall of your average American "jazz" fan.
People say this and the Japanese jazz they're talking about is like Ryo Fukui
Swans pfp
"japanese jazz is superior to american jazz" is one of those opinions that acts as a nazi dogwhistle
Didn't Adorno your Marxist college idol say jazz fricking sucked?
If one attempts, as has been the case often enough, to consider the use value of jazz, its suitability as a mass commodity, as a corrective to the bourgeois isolation of autonomous art, as something which is dialectically advanced, and to accept its use value as a motive for the nullification (Aujhebung) of the object character (Dingcharakter) of musk, one succumbs to the latestform of Romanticism which, because of its anxiety in the face of the fatal characteristics of capitalism, seeks a despairing way out, in order to affirm the feared thing itself as a son of ghastly allegory of the coming liberation and to sanctify negativity - a curative in which, by the way, jazz itself would like to believe. - Adorno, On Jazz
WORDS WORDS WORDS - TL;DR he fricking hates jazz because muh capitalism
The final quote I've got:
@MarseyIsMyWaifu is this you? Also probably has only listened Ornette's 50's and 60's albums but not his 70's and 80's albums. Delusional.
A number of other quotes were talking about J-pop and following the same line of logic as this cute twink was on about Japanese jazz. Self-awareness is zero for (most of) these commenters. If you didn't read or even look at the Marseys, your average American jazz fan is as r-slurred as your average Japanese jazz fan or just calling this "racist" for some reason.

I'm sorry. “Japanese Jazz” borrows heavily from the 70s fusion era of Return to Forever, Herbie Hanpeepee and the Miles Davis school of experimentation. It's…more rigid and soundtrack-y in comparison to the OGs. It's not superior. Stop this.:
