ear candy

Derived from the term "eye candy." Refers to music that is catchy and pleasurable to listen to but lacks depth, often both musically and lyrically. Ear candy lacks any form of complexity and is intellectually uninteresting. Top 40 hits almost always fall into this category.

Fan Girl: "Justin Bieber is such a genius! His music is SO deep!"

Musician: "You call 'Baby, baby, baby, ooh!' deep? That's just ear candy."
