It's literally just new fangled elevator music. What kind of soft brained mouth breather willingly listens to elevator music?

Insults and compliments talking about the size/quality of brains remind me of those people years ago whose humor was just going "WIN" or "FAIL" all the time.

I'm not the one that listens to literal Muzak. Is this stuff even made by people or is it compiled by an algorithm?

My fiancee listens to it sometimes when she's working on a project or even helps her fall asleep sometimes. Like someone else said it's background music. I wouldn't listen to it if I was trying to jam out but it's cool to have on when you want something that you don't have to be mentally focused on or be intrusive if you're trying to do other stuff.

Can people not do that with any music? I have music playing almost constantly while on the computer.

So now you're just gatekeeping "real" lofi?

i listen to muzak (not lofi, actual muzak) every now and then. it's music, and some of it is better than advertized.

here's an example:

i wouldn't consider pizzicato five muzak given their stylistic eclecticism, though some of their music probably takes some cues from the library/bgm tradition, the [retro] japanese side of which i'm still trying to properly explore since it's a bit obscure as far as i can tell. if you have recs in this area, do let me know.

there is bona fide muzak (as in music by the company) but it's a little too bland for me to have indulged in. however, i swear by television listing music and especially british teletext music, never mind the better known production music shops (e.g. kpm, de wolfe, etc.) and seeburg.

It's music to listen to that you don't really have to pay attention to. It works wonders at work or when reading.
