Summary

This quote highlights the dismissive attitude towards ambient music that often exists in society. By labeling it as 'easy listening,' individuals imply that this genre should require little effort or engagement from the listener. However, this perspective fails to recognize the intricate nature of ambient music and the intention behind its creation. It challenges the notion that music must be complex or demanding to be of value, urging people to approach all genres with an open mind and appreciate the diverse ways in which music can be meaningful and enjoyable.
