Muzak realized what Eric Satie understood from the outset: there are 
different ways to perceive music. One is active listening, another is to 
make it part of the surroundings. One is not better or more serious than the 
other. The idea that only "hard listening" music is worth having derives 
from a labour ethic that has nothing to do with art.
Luckily many younger musicians have no prejudice about this: lounge music 
styles are as dear to them as blues or Bartok.
