Muzak is an American brand of background music played in retail stores and other public establishments. The name has been in use since 1934, and has been owned by a division or subsidiary of another company ever since. In 1981, Westinghouse bought the company and ran it until selling it to the Fields Company of Chicago, publishers of the Chicago Sun-Times, on September 8, 1986. Formerly owned by Muzak Holdings, the brand was purchased in 2011 by Mood Media in a deal worth US$345 million. Muzak was based in various Seattle, Washington locations from 1986 to 1999, after which it moved its headquarters to South Carolina in 2000.
The word Muzak has been a registered trademark since December 21, 1954, of Muzak LLC, although it dominated the market for so many years that the term is often used (especially when used with lowercase spelling) as a generic term for all background music. The term Muzak is - at least in the United States - often used for most forms of background music, regardless of its source. It may also be referred to as "elevator music" or "lift music". Though Muzak Holdings was for many years the best-known supplier of background music, and is commonly associated with elevator music, the company itself did not supply music to elevators. Since 1997, Muzak has used original artists for its music, except on its Environmental channel.

The Muzak of the 60s-80s has become kitsch chic. It’s bygone pop culture vibe offers something cozy.

I think the world will no longer know an extraordinary era like the period from the 1960s to the 2000s. We boomers are the luckiest generation of all the others because we have known the before and after the internet, the greatest revolution in history .

[@dianadoos1944]

you're right boomers have had the best nothing but we were so lucky. This generation will never know what fun is. They can't even tell the time nor do they know what a hot water bottle is oh and they don't know who the queen of England was

[@akbarshoed]

Songs that get stuck in your head at 1:06 then 13:43 then 15:55 that start on the same note.

[@kurtkaufman]

The musicians that recorded this stuff had to be able to read it off the charts, rehearse it once, and record it "for posterity". 😂 In order to do this convincingly, they had to understand the style and be able to play with the right "feel" for the era, be it swing or rock or Latin, and of course be able to play exactly what was on the page. This required considerable experience and technical expertise. All for union scale, which was not especially generous.

[@drumzRfun1]

I play drums, these drummers are super skilled and play with soul!

[@VictorianMaid99]

Good music and great pictures from my childhood.

[@RebeccaLynnMusic]

Whoever you are, thank you!!
