μουσική ασανσέρ
Explanation:
Δεν είναι πάντα υποτιμητικό. Εκτός αν έτσι είναι στο κείμενό σου (οπότε λίγο συγκείμενο θα βοηθούσε).

H Wikipedia γράφει:
Muzak is a trademark name invented in 1922 by Major General George O. Squier when he patented a system for the transmission and distribution of background music from phonograph records over electrical lines to workplaces. Squiers was intrigued by the made-up word Kodak being used as a trademark and so took the "mus" sound from music and added the "ak" from Kodak to create his word Muzak.

Και το American Heritage:
A trademark used for recorded background music transmitted by wire or radio, as to places of business, on a subscription basis.
