A friend sent me a link to some music on youtube ("1 hour Iranian Jazz").
It was just a still image with some music in the background, a classic pattern for slop music, so I was suspicious.
I looked in the description and saw some jazz musicians I recognized, so I figured maybe it was just an audio recording from some live session that got thrown on youtube.
After listening for a bit, I started to get the sense that it wasn't who it claimed to be. One of the listed musicians was Vijay Iyer, who has a fairly recognizable style on piano, and this didn't seem like him.
I scrolled through the comments for bit, and eventually stumbled across a comment from Vijay Iyer himself asking politely to have his name removed.
I am so incredibly tired of this bullshit.
