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.”
