background musician

a background musician is a person who, without considering others, drums on every available surface constantly and poorly with his or her hands, or an inanimate object like chopsticks or pencils.

"No one asked that guy to drum on the counter with his thumbs, he's just a background musician."

background obsess

To background obsess is to obsess over something or someone while still carrying on with your daily life. You continue to fulfill your daily tasks and obligations without a noticeable decrease in mindfulness or attentiveness, but the object of your obsession is never far from your mind, and you often find yourself thinking about it/them without consciously having meant to.

She's going to be background obsessing about that job interview until she hears back from them.

Background Noise

A television show / movie you’ve seen enough times that you know the plot by heart and it no longer requires active attention to follow, so you watch it while you’re completing other quiet activities, to fill the room with some kind of noise.

Friend: Hey, I thought we were going to study, why is Friends/Seinfield/The Office/Parks and Rec on?
You: I’m not watching it, it’s just background noise, let’s study!
