I haven't actually heard elevator music as much as people say it exists.

In fact I don't think I've every been on an elevator that had music.




Pretty sure I've never heard Brian Eno playing in an airport either.


Tragedy.

Google sez: Music for Airports was installed at the Marine Air Terminal of New York's LaGuardia Airport for a brief period during the 1980s.

Elevator music may no longer be a thing, but apparently, airport music still is:

I think it's a trope from the second half of the 20th century (mostly the 3rd quarter).


The modern equivalent is probably mall music?
