Stand-Up comedy can be defined as another way of criticizing society and comedians know this and they appeal to the listener by criticizing or reanacting cynically stories or jokes they can easily relate to and even if they get offensive at times, it doesn't matter, it's about the same as when black people tell black jokes, it's completely OK but a white person shouldn't.
I like them a lot. I've always thought that Stand-up comedians have a very dry humor, but dry humor told correctly can be hilarious and it is. An example of that, a bit more modern though, is a TV series called Louie, created and Directed by Louis C.K. and it's about Louis's life as a stand-up comedian and the humor is very dry but you can't stop laughing.
Experimental and independent Film
Experimental and independent films, although a big part of film, are usually not that good. There have been many independent all time greats but in general they aren't. And these type of films are bad because they are what they are, experimental or independents will never have as much budget, experience, expertise, or anything as big studio productions. But I quite like them, and I also like the fact that they are not all that popular because knowing them and appreciating them requires a more trained and artistically focused eye and mind.
Bebop
Along many years since the harlem renaissance many or way too many different styles of jazz have sprung into existence. I don't have a particularly trained ear for music, and I do like jazz. But this one and almost every other type of jazz with which I've come across sounds quite the same. The only variations are the speed and tune and so on but those changes are present in any genre of music without it being considered a new type.
