I've been thinking about the concept of 'Coworker music' ever since I watched a video on it. The idea is generic or bad music that coworkers listen to, never yourself of course.
I'll have music on at work and ask myself, 'Could this be considered coworker music?' I have a specific taste in music so I don't think it falls into generic coworker music, but when you get into subcategories of 'a type of guy' my music definitely falls into a 'type of coworker' subgenre.
Co-worker music has a lot of layers to it.
Generally I would imagine Triple M and Fox/Nova music would fall into the category. Having worked with younger people that listen to Triple J (like I used to in my 20's and early 30s), pretty much all the current stuff played there would fall into the same category for me.
Personally I welcome a new way to judge people 😁
Where I work it's the R&B Fridays radio station. Added bonus of doing my head in listening to something that calls itself R&B Fridays on every other day of the week 🤪
With flexible work, every day is potentially someone's Friday!!!
That would do my head in 100%. I like my own music, and thankfully can listen as I please without subjecting others to it.
What music is considered coworker music lol? Like, isn't all music coworker music?
In the video I watched it was the most over produced mainstream pop like Harry Styles. Or they'll say something like, 'I was in a dark place and this song saved me. It's such a powerful song' and it's Imagine Dragons.
Taylor fucking swift lol
The reason she's so big is because your coworkers need to listen to something
Ah okay that makes sense, like generic pop, popular with the majority music.
I have no clue what my music says about me, I tend to jump between Käärijä (finish rap/pop), Blind Guardian, and Paul Simon 😂
Sounds like you have too distinct a taste to be a coworker, but I'd like to check out Käärijä and see what I think. I need to listen to how well Finns pull off rap for myself.
I feel like coworker music is either the most generic music ever, or they listen to something incredibly niche but it sounds terrible.
I found Käärijä via Eurovision a few years ago 😂
He has one EP and two albums, I love pretty much every song so I'm biased haha I'd say his genres are a mix of rap, pop, and a bit of metal.

I think that's the point. It's music you'd never listen to, but others would.
Ah okay so Taylor Swift 😂😂😂
This is a new concept to me. I think I get it, but technically my office plays 90% ABC Classic so I feel a bit exempt from this phenomenon. I do feel it when I've got in the work car after one of my colleagues has used it and set the dial to triple M tho.
