Noticed music in offices and stores seems to be stuck in the 90s or 80s

Worked retail over a decade ago. They sell them wholesale playlists graded like meat. Usually end up with taco bell

"Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. To soften rocks, or bend the knotted oak."

Music is an effective control mechanism. Same with color. People can be hacked through all of our sensory inputs. Music is more effective because it's more intrusive.

Ah, so this is where the saying "calm your tits" came from.

True story for shopping. Studies prove music that plays at one rate then if the next song increases bpm to a faster beat them that correlates to increases buying.

Nigger music isn't music, I don't care what the jews say.

Old music for old shoppers. Mystery solved.

We choose it in our workplace because it reminds us of better times, and we hate all the new stuff so deal with it. It's one of the only joys we get serving you fucks.

Wagie life must be so relentlessly shit.

Because music from that era had a sense of melodic harmony. Great for keeping you calm and shopping.

/at least it is not nigger music...yet.

I miss the early 2000's and 90's rock. Granted, I was born in '99, but music just seems better from that era.

It was about 2010 where things were half good and half shit. Imagine Dragons was good, then there were songs like Sail from AWOL Nation that I enjoyed...

But then there was nigger shit and bitches like Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, Lorde, and the fat fuck that "is all about that bass"...

Just downhill, faster and faster...

Remember the movie 'Dazed and Confused'? If they were to do that movie now, it would take place in 1996

Thanks fat boomer. It is good at keeping YOU calm and spending money.

You just happen to be chain store demographic age. The current trend I notice is more and more beaner music and spic commercials at retail stores, specially hardware stores. They might as well put up a sign outside the store that says, "go buy your shit online and never step foot in our store again" as that is the end result of me going to any store that has anything non-english playing over the intercom.

No joke, this literally was their mentality over the last 3 years, they thought this was a good idea, that it was an 'untapped market'. Which is just kikes destroying our economy by forcing their jewry.

Literally 30-40 year old music like WTF. Have we not made ANY good music since then? WTF

[ - ] NaturalSelectionistWorker 0 points 2.3 yearsMar 2, 2023 15:38:55 ago (+1/-1)

Good, modern music is garbage. The 90s seems to be the most recent decade where a majority of people would say mainstream radio music was good. New music is just as kiked, maybe worse, but it's all targeted at specific groups rather than mainstream acceptance.

Yes.

Stores all have facial recognition. The "A.I." looks at your face and determines your age which is saved in the database. They then play music based on the people in the store and what the A.I. "thinks" you would likely recognize in your past to make you feel young again to get you to keep coming into the store to buy more goyslop.

This is a stretch. The capability is there but corporate has a difficult time getting this shit implemented.

It's also something that would be ineffective. Conflicting demographics can be in the store at the same time. It would work against your branding (anyone considering this would already have put a lot of effort into their brand). The impact of hearing a decade specific generic pop song isn't going to be that much more intense than a generic pop song that fits your brand. There are plenty of more practical ways to manipulate customers that wouldn't cost what this kind of setup would cost.

What they do have is systems that track you all around a large shopping mall using your phone so they can build customer profiles and data mine your behavior, what stores you visit and how long you stay in each etc... I remember this being a live trial years ago that pissed people off so the tech has probably advanced since then. Here's an actual source, from 2011. Msm link warning.

Yeah, I helped code those systems.

Interesting. Do you have any insider knowledge of how widespread they are since then or how they've evolved?

You are a target, just like everyone else. It is mostly advertising but the 3 letters are watching and have similar tools. Turn your location off, use ad blockers, block 3rd party trackers. The programming is not new. The issue is that people don't know how to connect the pieces and Indians don't know why they would connect the pieces because they don't understand the business and culture. It is actually pretty easy to set this stuff up and it is all open sourced. People are afraid of code so we have mystical developers that im reality just copy and paste shit.

It's not ineffective. They have a playlist and when a certain person walks in a song is added to the list to play for that person. You can have 10 people in the store all who are in the store for a while and their song will get played. The songs are shorter than the actual songs on the radio. It can also just do a genre with specified songs in that genre to pick from. Where it's 80's music or 90's music based on the persons age. And older person comes in or a black person and it adds another genre and start hearing black songs from the 60's. It's not rocket science. It's very easy to do.

Bro I've worked in a very closely related field and I've worked with a ton of different businesses. I appreciate that you're looking out for things like this but "possible" is not the same as "works well and is in use"

The examples you posted aren't commercial systems that change songs depending on who's in the store. If it exists it's going to be advertised somewhere because that's how you convince stores to start using it. I don't think it exists and even though yes it's possible to build it wouldn't be an effective way to drive customer behavior the way you're insisting. There are a ton of ways you can manipulate customers but this one is unlikely for a ton of reasons. I listed a few above and you were unable to address them.

Making shit up doesn't help us.

It's free open source: https://viso.ai/computer-vision/deepface/

You add whatever else you want.. like the ethnic and age detection then have it add music to a playlist and bingo you're in business.

I'm using this to create an army of mini drones who can detect ethnicities for climate change research.

https://www.techrepublic.com/article/facial-recognition-software/

"With this software, you can easily detect and verify faces and map their locations during live sessions. Some other features that can serve your needs are face clustering, face comparison, spoof detection, phenotype detection and age estimation."

"This FRS solution covers a lot of facial recognition needs, such as spoof detection, multi-face detection, age detection and gender detection... you can leverage the software’s facial coordinates and diversity detection"

"Sky Biometry is capable of applying facial landmarks to determine gender and age, check for facial mood and detect if there are objects on your face."

Phenotype and diversity detection, eh? "Alert, negro on aisle 3!"
