	Jazz Musician Humility is ~~when~~ a ~~pretentious~~ Jazz ~~musician makes~~ a ~~joke about their own genre~~ in order to ~~look~~ self-deprecating, ~~when~~ in ~~reality, they’re poking fun at outsiders~~.		'''Jazz Musician Humility''' is a tactic used by Jazz musicians to elevate their prestige in the [[Jazz Imperial Complex]], or in other words, to mock themselves in order to make fun of everybody else. It takes place in music colleges and jam sessions, but it's especially prevalent on social media. [[File:Jazzmemes meme 2.jpg\|thumb\|345x345px\|@jazzmemes_ [https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFaRdfnRPpP/ meme 2]]]If you see a reel with a caption like "jazz saxophonists playing the most random scales at 500 bpm", Jazz Musician Humility is exactly what they're using. Every caption in these types of memes obviously isn't accurate, they are all intentionally exaggerated in order to give the meme a "self-deprecating vibe". Most people take this as a lighthearted joke, give them the engagement they're looking for, and stop there. But underneath this layer is another one of arrogance, where the jazz musicians can't get enough of their own complexity and live under '''the false impression that non-jazz enjoyers can't understand their music.''' The examples on the right are helpful in recognizing this fake humility in action.

	~~Jazz musicians take pride~~ in the ~~complexity~~ and inaccessibility of ~~their music~~, and ~~enjoy expressing~~ their ~~arrogance. But~~ of ~~course~~, ~~they're generally not brave enough~~ to ~~come out and say “I’m proud that my music is elite and hard for you plebs to understand”, so they mask this sentiment~~ with ~~humour.~~		This not only raises them up on the JIC, but also appeals to the elites at the top, because it widens the gap in the hierarchy and increases the inaccessibility of Jazz itself, The non-jazzheads will continue to be mocked for "not understanding jazz", and the jazzheads lack the guts to publicly embrace their sense of superiority, leading them to dress it up with secretly ill-intentioned memes.

	~~=== Examples ===~~
	~~The jazzmemes_ page is riddled with this kind of presumptuous homour. Examples include:~~

	A meme showcasing a group of gentlemen dancing to jazz fusion with “[https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWRJ6yQkbjg/?igsh=MWxmNXdxM2pkM2N3MQ== random chords played over some random drums]”, when clearly, the song has structure and rhythm. The meme makes fun of outsiders, despite presenting as self-deprecating.

	A meme showcasing a jazz quartet playing [https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFaRdfnRPpP/?igsh=MjVmbmkyc3p3aGZl complete nonsense]. The joke is that outsiders don’t understand jazz, but that will go over the heads of those with bad media literacy.

Jazz Musician Humility is when a pretentious Jazz musician makes a joke about their own genre in order to look self-deprecating, when in reality, they’re poking fun at outsiders.

Jazz musicians take pride in the complexity and inaccessibility of their music, and enjoy expressing their arrogance. But of course, they're generally not brave enough to come out and say “I’m proud that my music is elite and hard for you plebs to understand”, so they mask this sentiment with humour.
