Why is noodling in jazz acceptable but noodling in music like

Because jazz is historically black

People don't actually like jazz. They just say they do so because it makes them seem cooler. Prog metal doesn't give you the same social capital for liking it so people justly shit on it.

I should have said "Most people don't actually like jazz"
I'm sure there are some people that genuinely do. Not trying to shitpost here.

Because jazz is more accepted as being "good" music, it's the same with prog rock. /mu/ doesn't realise that the same criticismsize of being "wankery" that some people here throw at bands like Animals as Leaders was thrown at /mu/core like King Crimson back when they were popular l.

Because jazz wankery is purposeful, meaningful, spiritual. Prog metal wankery is dull, pedantic, clinical, uninspired.

They're two different types of noodling.

The noodling you're referring to in jazz is called improvisation. Musicians build on each other sounds and develop the song as they go on, different each time they play it. A lot of interplay (or communication between musicians) occurs on the spot.

Noodling in prog (metal) is often arranged, pre-planned structured complexities. There's no improvising there. In same cases this can be good but a lot of time it's just complexity for sake of complexity so it often sounds soulless.

That's because noodling in jazz is an actual representation of artistry; collaboration, has a purpose and emotion, non-structural and others.

Progressive metal on the other hand is a just a technical masturbation that sometimes feel incredibly out of place and cringey (e.g. everything Dream Theater has made).

Eh just wait 20 years til it becomes "vintage" and jazz is "too old" to be cool anymore. It will reverse.
