Yes...80s Music Is The New Elevator Music


 I saw this photo the other day, I don't know where. But, I had to snap a picture and send it to m wife. It describes us to a T.

A few years ago we bought a sound bar for our living room TV. It was on sale during Black Friday. It's not a good one, but it does what it's supposed to do--it amplifies music from our phones. It's perfect for when we bring out the duster and the vacuum cleaner from the laundry room and start cleaning, all the while listening to the songs of our youth.

We listen to my wife's playlist. I'm too lazy to create my own playlist so we use her's, and the one we listen to most is: 80s Alternative.

If you're not familiar with 80s Alternative, just listen to the music being pipped into the overhead speakers when you go shopping. 80s Alternative is the new elevator music. If you're too young to recognize elevator music, don't worry--just wait a decade or two and you'll be shopping for unspoiled produce when a song will come over the speakers and you'll stop.

Then, you'll remember the song.

Then you'll find it unbelievable that a song you used to dance to with your friends is now playing w/o lyrics on the grocery store sound system.

Then, you'll realize you're old.

But don't worry. Just go home, crank the tunes on your home speaker system, and do some cleaning.
