Elevator music is commonly associated with cheesy muzak instrumentals that one usually hears in elevators, waiting rooms, and public spaces. The goal of the elevator music is not to actively engage the listener but rather to create a pleasant ambiance and to help pass time. With that regard it is similar to waiting / on-hold music but tend to be more jazzy and mellow in tone.

Considering its wide audience, the elevator music aims to remain as neutral as possible and purposely avoids evoking strong emotion. Some may find elevator music boring but it serves its purpose very well when used properly.
