    Meta-Critique of jazz[edit]

    What is a metacritique?[edit]

    Criticisms made of jazz[edit]

    “Just nine days later (July, 2014), the Washington Post ran a caustic article that began with three memorable sentences: “Jazz is boring. Jazz is overrated. Jazz is washed up.” This article might also have been satire, or perhaps it represented the author’s actual opinion—in either case, it was a clumsy affair.[1] (bold not in original)

    Assessments of criticisms made of jazz[edit]

    Why jazz is boring[edit]
    Why jazz is not boring[edit]

    Conclusions regarding the boringness of jazz[edit]

    Why jazz is overrated[edit]
    Why jazz is not overrated[edit]

    Conclusions regarding the overratedness of jazz[edit]

    Why jazz is washed up[edit]
    Why jazz is not washed up[edit]

    Conclusions regarding the washedupedness of jazz[edit]
