Naming a Genre
calenlass:
Ok actually after browsing a few links and exploring on youtube, I found Light Music, which sounds about right, I guess. Lame.
calenlass:
Really, light music is really a horrible name for it. I would have called muzak "light music" because it is technically "beautiful music" and there is nothing particularly beautiful about muzak. Maybe retro-classical, since people like to be so strikingly unimaginative, but whatever, I guess. Anyway, thanks, Ben et al.

Because that is definitely not what this music makes me think of.

Historical context. Associating the term with a kind of music was coined in the 1950s, therefore your associations are kind of irrelevant. Which is not to say that they're not true now, or that you can't think it's a bad name for it, but that explains the cognitive dissonance.

Yeah the idea of young masculinity has changed a lot in the last 60 years.
KharBevNor:
Yeah a bachelors pad used to imply a swishy fuck-palace, basically.
