The greatest American invention.
It's about the notes you *don't* play.
A genre of music few white people can handle.
A revolutionary musical genre birthed in New Orleans in the early 20th Century by black. Jazz arose from the folk and spiritual music traditions of freed slaves in the Mississippi Delta, and is the patriarch of blues, R&B, Rock & Roll, and all contemporary popular music.

A rhetorical technique used (often by a neurotic undergraduate a with a Yoko Ono tattoo) to deny the existence of irrefutable fact. But this is not its original meaning:
Properly understood, a social construct is a thing that emerges as a result of social interaction. For instance, the price of gold is a social construct—it emerges from the market for gold as an approximation of how society presently values gold in relation to another asset, usually currency.
Social constructs are no less "real" than the price of gold is "real." It's not as real as gold itself, but it's pretty damn real.
