You know, the music that's in every fucking insurance advert that wants to market itself as wholesome.

It's usually got the following: Ukelele strumming, jaunty whistling, a bunch of dudes in what sounds like the far off background happily chanting "waaaooooh" or sometimes if the composer is feeling extra evil, the dreaded baby piano. Can someone tell me what this shit is called?

It's the Corporate Memphis of music. I hate hate hate it.

I've heard it called the "millenial woop music" and it has never left my mind ever since. Just groans and moans over the most saccarine 4 chords.

Don't blame millennials for the actions of our corporate overlords! boohoo

Millenials are old enough to either be creative directors in an ad agency or bullshit themselves through a marketing manager job. They are directly responsible for this slop. The corporate overlords only glance at it briefly and demand to make the logo bigger.
