Cineplex Core refers to the type of music that plays at movie theatres before the first trailers play. Often there is a quiz or facts being displayed on the screen and music like Sixpence None The Richer - Kiss Me is playing. This type of music can also be heard in other neighboring establishments like Chapters, Michaels and Bulk Barn. It evokes a comforting sense of nostalgia.
I heard Vanessa Carlton the other day, it's so Cineplex Core, makes me want to waste my time at a strip mall walking around spending money.
