Is jazz considered mainstream?
Well just wondering guys, I'm listener of many music genre, and jazz is just one of them.
People often tell me if my taste is a bit out of mainstream (that is, if you think mtv and english-lyric music is considered as the mainstream). But I found myself confused when not all people not really like jazz. I know it's matter of personal taste, but given the fact jazz music is relaxing, and often considered as easy listening genre, not really people like them. Is this true? Is jazz actually considered a mainstream genre, or their listeners actually more obscure than classical music? I want to know your opinion about this, I'm not really hardcore fan of jazz (couldnt stand the free pure-jazz music, I'm dead when listening 'em D  but I would like to know how popular jazz is, compared to other genre.(I'm bit confused where I should put this, either in concert hall or general discussion. Feel free to move it to appropriate place. )Jam it back in, in the dark.

well, how about you generally guys? (yama and gukarma) do you consider jazz as exclusive/underground genre or, just as typical as other pop music nowadays? Or perhaps, you dont favor it at all?
I always think jazz is one of the mainstream, coz it's popularized by western musician, but perhaps I'm wrong, perhapspeople dont listen jazz that much compared to other genre. =O There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, I listen only limited jazz genres, I know there are some pure-jazz with crazy improvisation which could make your head goes bang-bang instead of making me relaxed. But as far as I listen, most jazz music out there contains soft music, which is quite suitable for relaxation.
That's my only opinion anyway, perhaps, just as you said, I havent really seen what "jazz" really is. Other than jazz music, I also listen jazz, classical, celtic, world, anime, jpop, folk, new age, but none of any heavy metal. Maybe my listening discography is still not good enough.  This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
