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'd call it muzak. It's elevator music. You can argue about instruments or the like, but I feel like muzak, like punk, is more about a vibe than any one specific thing
