Today's hip tunes. New music that isn't Classic Rock or Jazz!

No

According to my Chicago Manual of Style, nouns and adjectives designiating cultural styles, movements, and schools--artistic, architectural, musical, and so forth--and their adherents are capitalized if derived from proper nouns. Others are usually lowercased, though a few, (e.g. Cynic, Scholastic) are capitalized to distinguish them from the generic words used in everyday speech.

So:

art deco
baroque
Hellenism
Romanesque

My interpretation of this is that jazz (the movement, not the team), generally speaking, should be lowercased.
