    I’m pretty sure the person who chose the music knew and the tech bros all didn’t have a clue nor bothered to listen

      Or the marketing people have research that says the tune matters more than the actual content of the song.

      Hell, they’ve been using “Born in the USA” as a song about Patriotism for decades. For people to make the connection they’d have to think about it critically, which is already more advanced than most advertising is meant to be experienced.
