If our pop music in some other dimension is based on jazz and not electronica and hip hop like it is today, then I would hate jazz (or pop, I suppose). To be quite honest, most of my musical tastes started as retaliation towards the standard pop music, so whatever is in the Top 40, that's what I'm NOT listening to.
Interestingly, jazz started off as dance/pop music, and I rather enjoy the old danceable Dixieland jazz (or jass). If there was suddenly a dance jazz revival in the present day, in this dimension, and the clubs were all pumping 1920's New Orleans jazz I would be in the club every single night.
