Elevator Music

A few weeks ago, I was in the elevator in the apartment complex where my boyfriend lives. Someone came into the elevator and I said hello to be nice. He didn't even respond. So we stood in awkward silence for 3 floors until I finally escaped into the parking garage. Now, back in the old days, they played music in the elevator. Of course, it was really boring music and "elevator music" became a term people used when referring to bland, boring music. So they just took music out of elevators altogether, out of embarrassment. But this was a mistake. Silence in the elevator is way worse, I think. The supplier of elevator music, Muzak, just filed for bankruptcy today. Sadly, looks like the silent elevator will reign supreme.
