All the jazz!

A term that came to prominence during the coronavirus pandemic of 2020. During this time, disco and funk music was making its comeback (popular new-Disco artists being Dua Lipa, The Weeknd, and Doja Cat) as a result of its feel-good and escapist qualities— leading to minor resurrections of sayings such as “groovy” and “ya dig?” among others.

This also led to a more relaxed and feel-good vocabulary amongst American youth, especially ones in urban areas hit hardest by the pandemic. The term “all the jazz” is not to be mistaken with “all that jazz.” All the jazz is more or less a synonymous mirroring of the term “all the rage,” but with a more relaxed connotation.

“Did you go to David’s party last night?”

“Oh hell yeah, man. It was seriously all the jazz! You should have been there.”
