    Seriously, I remember doing an audio-focuaed tech demo to some basic PM whose favorite band was Imagine Dragons and at the time wondering how much life was left in my career

      I’ve been hearing people rip on Imagine Dragons forever but I had no idea what their music sounded like, so I went and did a deep dive on them a couple of years ago. I was like “wait a minute, I’ve heard all of these songs – how is that possible?” Then I realized I’ve heard them all while grocery shopping late at night.

      I’ve got a product demo presentation to give about this time tomorrow. I’m not sure if our soulless corporate music is any better.

      I don’t feel old, but I see this old guy in the mirror.

            Music like that was actually used in product presentation videos — and still is sometimes. The libraries mentioned on that page sell readymade music for use in films/tv, advertisement or whatever. KPM are the most widely known, I think: there are lots of their music on YouTube, including entire discs.

            Famously, ‘Ren and Stimpy’, ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ and ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ use old library music for their soundtracks.

        Oh, hello, me.

        I made the mistake of preloading classical music. Nobody but nerds and perverts likes Mozart, apparently.

        If you can, just play what you like. Expose them to a tiny bit of reality.
