Instead they ignore the music until someone takes over the Bluetooth speaker.
The success of their post brought so many opportunities that they quit driving to pursue music marketing and promotion.
Silent head bobbing is usually a good sign.
The fun is in sharing your enjoyment.
All of Joness playlists are made from songs Jones already likes.
I wanted to make work more enjoyable for me, Jones says.
Thats why Fleetwood Mac is in like three playlists.
Recognizable songs are cool, but even great songs are excruciating if theyre overplayed.
No one hears Uptown Funk or Dont Stop Believing and is like whoa, its been too long!
Try new genres
Music repeats itself, Jones says.
Moods are more important than traditional genre boundaries.
I asked Jones how to tell when quiet passengers liked the music.
Hard to tell, they said, though silent head bobbing is usually a good sign.
And the older the target audience, the more Jones leans into the hits.
You dont have to deliver everyone their next banger.
you’re free to always tweak things for next time.
So a little effort was enough to make someones night, even if Jones didnt nail it every time.
Thank u all 4 reassuring me that quiet is a genre.
Change it up
If people arent feeling it, do a 180.
My go to, of course, was Future and they were really into it.
They were drunk and a bit obnoxious but at the same time I was having fun.
Better than sitting in silence, Jones says, wondering if someones gonna puke in your Prius.
The guys ended up refilling Joness drink and cigs to thank Jones for the music.
Go find new music
The best place to find crowd-pleasing music is in a real crowd.
Parties have actually been a huge source for new music discovery (thanks Shazam).
Of course most of us find our new music online.
As a kid, Jones used to find music on MySpace and Pandora.
But mostly, says Jones, I just follow the playlists that my friends make.
