ear-jamming


when background music is added to a tv show or movie for dramatic effect, but it ends up drowning out the dialogue to the point at which a viewer can’t even hear what people are saying. it is a stylistic choice based on the -ssumption that most viewers are primitive creatures whose attentions will more likely to be captivated by primitive noise than by words.

although “ear-jamming” occurs in all types of auditory media (radio, tv shows, and movies), it most commonly occurs in doc-mentary-style tv shows and movies.

it usually leads to a situation where viewers are constantly modulating the volume of their tvs as they watch a program in order to either: (1) mitigate the -ssaultive music or turning the volume down (2) or to hear the now-relatively-quieter underlying dialogue turning the volume up.

when the background music comes on especially suddenly, it is also know as a “music -ssault”.
“hey, that was a really entertaining doc-mentary!”
“yeah, but the background music was too frigging loud. i couldn’t even hear what they were saying with all that ear-jamming.”
