    Description:

    Shuffle it! Most tracks here are library music from 1984-1998. They've gone largely ignored in the music space due to being, uh, stock music. This era of FM & Rompler Synthesis became dreadfully dated sounding after ~1998, further burying it. Listen if you enjoy vaporwave or its children.

    Description:

    It's 1996 in downtown San Francisco. You're working from the gaudy couch of a coffee shop for a web startup on your (incredibly heavy) laptop. This is the music you hear rising above the grind of cappucino machines, clinking of earthenware, and low chatter of businesspeople.
