It’s called “I blame Mumford & Sons for this”
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! 
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.
We run the corpo pop trends now old man! 
Muzak is a term for the generic-sounding, vaguely calming background music formerly haunting elevators and grocery stores before the former ditched speakers and the latter switched to the top 40 charts with no one noticing the difference.
I have never felt so old as when I (an elder millennial) referred to lo-fi beats to study and relax to as zoomer elevator music, and a zoomer overhearing me said they'd never heard music in an elevator.
I feel you. I'm realizing that I'm getting closer and closer to the age my parents were when they were telling me about black and white televisions and realizing there's adults who can buy alcohol that don't remember what it'a like to not have an internet connection or a cell phone.
Remember when they had antennas? That was so cool
Very relevant Tantacrul vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIxY_Y9TGWI
Good vid. The tl;dr for those who dont feel like watching: He calls it "nothing music" or "corporate nothing music." It's vaguely emotional and gives the illusion of musical progression while going nowhere.

Stomp-Clap Bullshit.
I waited for the video to start for like 30 seconds before I realized that was the video. Waited for the narrator to list the dangerous side effects.
Thats Tweecore!
Sounds like shit they play in commericals for Target stores.
Makes me think of trending facebook videos full of animal rescue clips
remember this genre of music from like 2011. i like to call it stomp clap hey. that shit sucked lmao
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

If you search for "Corporate Music" you might find examples of what you described
I actually kinda like the Planet Coaster soundtrack :cat-screm:
planet zoo has the same base themes with an added coating of 80s/90s "world" music, it's so tacky and cute, love it
Some of the more low-key acoustic tracks from Planet Coaster have some cool things going on too, like this one.

This song sounds nice!
I will never forgive the corporate overlords for ruining Feist with music like this tho
