  i don't think this is an unpopular opinion. i think common sense says that "complexity" is not synonymous with "quality" in music. very few people will say that complexity = quality.
context: Well yeah, young musicians are learning, they’ve got the toolkit but not the artistry to use it, that takes awhile. Some genres are more complex than others, don’t hate on them if they’re not your cup of tea…in no way does complexity discard quality to be clear here, but it certainly does limit your audience. >
  
  You mentioned jazz, but progressive metal is also a big offender there. >
  
  really depends I think. Progressive music needs a little more depth than pop culture music simply because of its variety >
  
  Couldn't agree more, it's probably one of the worst and unintelligent misconceptions in music, along with an artist has to do 100% of the work in order to be authentic. >
  
  Same as in writing: Say it with as few words as possible. >
  
  Just like in writing, there are things that cannot be expressed in the simplest way without losing a lot of important context.
