Coworker Music

Coworker music refers to mainstream, widely popular music that is inoffensive, commercial, and considered overplayed. It’s an evolution of the term NPC music, describing tracks that are generic and safe. This type of music is common in workplace settings because it avoids strong reactions, fitting into a background role where it's heard but not deeply appreciated. Despite its simplicity, coworker music often serves as a tool for connection among coworkers who may not share deeper interests, reflecting the surface-level interactions typical in many work environments.

As soon as I walked into the office, I knew it was going to be a long day—the same coworker music was playing on repeat, with Maroon 5 and Imagine Dragons setting the tone for another uneventful afternoon.

coworker music

The kind of music your 30 year old coworker at Taco Bell listens too and thinks is super deep and impactful, ie eminem, nas, logic, Tom Macdonald, Joyner Lucas, Macklemore reddy red, MGK, mac lethal, hopsin, ybn cordae, or any other “woke” usually white rapper who thinks big words that rhyme will change the face of the hip hop industry

“That guy keeps playing monster by Eminem on the Bluetooth speaker in the storage room and trying to explain how eminem saved his life, will somebody tell him to hop off the aux and play something else, nah dude just turn the speaker off he’s just going to keep playing coworker music”
