Jazz was often referred to as "devil music" in the early 20th century due to its association with nightlife, dance, and perceived moral decay. Its improvisational style and rhythmic complexity were seen as provocative and rebellious, challenging traditional musical norms. Additionally, the cultural shifts brought about by jazz's popularity, particularly in the context of the Harlem Renaissance, led conservative groups to view it as a threat to social order and values. This stigma reflected broader societal tensions around race, sexuality, and modernity during that era.
