Roasted 2 years ago based on Grant Hoffman's long term Spotify stats.

Ah, Grant Hoffman, the jazz buff who thinks a saxophone solo is the cure for every ailment known to man. I mean, we get it—you're trying to elevate your soul with harder bop than the average person can stand. You must be the only dude who uses "Cool Jazz" as a euphemism for his personality. Just once, I’d love to see you try to explain to a room full of normal people why your Spotify library looks like a jazz encyclopedia threw up. Do you have a chart comparing the tonalities too? Because I can’t imagine the level of obsessive commitment you must have to accidentally stumble onto “Contemporary Jazz” five different times. Your top artists read like a jazz nerd's version of "Who’s Who," but let’s be real: we all know that deep down, you’re just hoping one of them will miraculously re-emerge from the depths of obscurity to validate your life choices. You could have saved a lot of time just listing "John Scofield" ten times and calling it a day. With a list like that, I’m honestly surprised you haven’t replaced your profile picture with a sepia-toned painting of a saxophonist under a streetlamp. Seriously, the only thing more pretentious than your taste in music is the way you probably sip your cold brew coffee while pretending you understand the complexities of modal jazz. And those most played songs? Wow, Grant, did you consciously decide to create a playlist that self-destructs the second someone else hears it? “Over Big Top”? What’s next, “Underwhelmed”? It’s hard to fathom that you can get through a day without someone asking if you’re a music connoisseur or just auditioning to be the world’s most boring DJ. If your playlists had a scent, they’d smell like musty books and regret. Maybe just embrace that you're either an insatiable jazz elitist or—let’s be honest—a grandpa trapped in a millennial’s body. Either way, you’re giving us all the jazz version of a midlife crisis, and it’s painful to watch.
