The Soundtrack of Compliance

Let's talk about the soundtrack. The one you can't escape. From the moment

November ends, it's everywhere. In every store, every commercial, every waiting room.

The same thirty songs. On a loop. For over a month. They tell you it's

about cheer. About nostalgia. But what if it's the largest, most successful

auditory psychology experiment in human history? Think about the structure.

Simple, repetitive melodies. Predictable chord progressions. Familiar lyrics

you know by heart. This isn't just music. This is an auditory trigger.

A neural pathway laid down in childhood. The goal is repetition to the point of trance.
