Coworker Music
Coworker music refers to mainstream, widely popular music that is inoffensive, commercial, and considered overplayed. It’s an evolution of the term NPC music, describing tracks that are generic and safe. This type of music is common in workplace settings because it avoids strong reactions, fitting into a background role where it's heard but not deeply appreciated. Despite its simplicity, coworker music often serves as a tool for connection among coworkers who may not share deeper interests, reflecting the surface-level interactions typical in many work environments.
As soon as I walked into the office, I knew it was going to be a long day—the same coworker music was playing on repeat, with Maroon 5 and Imagine Dragons setting the tone for another uneventful afternoon.
