Controversial opinion: Jazz is simply failed music. It sounds like a child scribbling all over the page. Formless, meaningless, and unpleasant. Just a bunch of random noise that people trick themselves into liking, while they become numb to true musical quality in the process.

There would be a lot less plagiarism if universities didn’t force constant publishing - focused a lot more on quality rather than quantity. The overwhelming majority of books and papers don’t need to exist at all, and profs wouldn’t write them if they didn’t have to.
