There's no question that what you say is true. I clearly remember my parents complaining when I first discovered BeBop jazz and Rhythm and Blues. They were still hung up on the Big Band jazz from the 1940's. We watched a lot of the Lawrance Welk TV shows back then.
When Louis Armstrong first heard Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker, he was very dismissive of BeBop, saying that it sounded like "Chinese music." He hated it. But then, he was a classic jazz musician, in the New Orleans tradition.
My intent isn't to put down anyone's taste in music. You should hear some of the stuff I listen to. *lol*
In looking at, and listening to this:

I'm sorry, but it is coming from a place I definitely don't want to explore.
