Jazz listening has dulled my taste for Rock...you?

Since seeing Ken Burns Jazz series, and beginning to listen to, and appreciate Jazz... I find that I no longer find Rock music to be very interesting. Compared to Jazz, the music is BORING! The very best of Rock can still hold my attention a bit, but generally Rock is just too primitive and 'simple' compared to Jazz.
Classical music is so different, and has such different rules, that I still find it very appealing, but Rock... bleeh!!! (sorry Rock fans... and I'm not trolling, I really wonder if anyone else has had this happen!)

I find the improvisation of jazz is what keeps people excited, where rock acts come along and kick ass...the get mimiced for 3-4 years. This makes it dull. Then the process starts again.

I have personally been delving deeper into jazz as of late, but hate the snobbery that is assosciated with it. Oh well, I love it all.
