My opinion:
We can call it anything we want. But, when trying to sell it to a customer, we want to use whatever term will turn them on.
I usually use several at the same time. I might use, Hot Jazz, Dixieland, Classic Jazz, “You know, think Louis Armstrong.”
Louis Armstrong usually says it all to a potential client.

Hi Listmates…since it seems the times are changing, and like stated in this
article below, it seems many musicians playing OKOM don't care for the term
"Dixieland Jazz",
so is it time to name OKOM "HOT JAZZ"?
Like, HJML instead of DJML…just a thought…for years I've preferred saying my
band plays "Classic Jazz", not wanting to scare off people who think OKOM is
cartoon music…
Following is a "Vanity Fair" article on hot jazz in New York:
