Loungecore

Noun

Definition: Easy-listening music.

Examples:

• “But that doesn’t excuse the rest of the production-line, polished-up pop that fills up the rest of this CD - pallid ballads and loungecore cocktail music, for the most part.”

• “He remains one of pop’s most original and eccentric artists, seamlessly straddling jazz, rock, funk, electronica, loungecore and disco soundtracks all at the same time.”

• “The Roald Dahl reference of the title is suitable, given the tricks, trapdoors and trompe-l’oreilles that the group applies, shifting from trip hop to indie rock to loungecore and more.”
