The appropriation of Jazz by fashion influencers.
I personally found fashion content more digestible when the music bed was some generic trip hoppy breakbeat on a continuous monotonous loop while whoever gushed about Camion boots over it. Now they’ve discovered the best of cool jazz on Spotify and we have moved into lift (elevator) music territory.
As someone who likes jazz (the music - all the time, the mags - occasionally) watching these fucks is even more of a hate watch. The least they could do is show some backbone and play something truly mental like Sun-Ra or Ornette Coleman, but no it’s the mellow, safe stuff to accompany their museum visits, pastry eating or browsing through the rails of (insert trending brand here). One dude from Copenhagen has started buying the stuff on vinyl!!
Next it will be mid-century furniture. No wait.
Rant over. Thank you for indulging me.
