About

Jazz For Your Soul is an image macro series based on a digitally composited photograph of an individual passionately playing a musical instrument, or an object as if it were one, in the style of the PTSD Clarinet Boy and Karate Kyle.

Origin

The original instance of the image, which shows a Korean man holding a fire extinguisher as if it were a saxophone with the caption "Jazz for your soul," was uploaded in early 2007 by Daum blogger Masaru7 and began circulating the Korean blogs and forums, soon going viral after being featured in the HIT gallery of the Korean humor community DC Inside on April 24th.

On February 21st, 2007, the image was posted on the Japanese Yahoo!.[2] On April 29th of the same year, the image got posted on a blog on the Korean website Egloos[3] alongside two derivatives showing two men playing guitars as if they were violins with the texts "Falling in your soul…" (shown below, left) and "Classic for your soul" (shown below, right). After that all three images were shared numerous times on South-Korean blogs from 2007 to 2010, mainly on the blogging platforms Egloos and Tistory, where more variations were created and spread over time.[4][5]
