By “Human Music”, I’m referencing this scene from Rick and Morty Season 1 Episode 4. Jerry, unbeknownst to him, is inside a simulation that’s barely functioning due to low compute power. His car radio starts playing “Human Music”, which is just the notes “C-D-C — C-D-C …” played on a loop forever, and Jerry remarks: “Hmm, Human Music. I like it.”
What do you like to listen to that feels like “Human Music”? As an example, I just listened to Waterflame’s song The Blue Planet, and I really enjoyed it.
I sometimes listen to chiptune and some other similar genres. On top of some of the more well known stuff like the original Touhou Games and retro games like Silver Surfer, something more obscure is pre-Touhou IOSYS, not all of it’s chiptune but it’s close enough to what was asked for. I feel like I’m forgetting some others but all I can think of is more retro games that everyone has probably already heard of.
I was looking for chiptune music and found the Nintendocore album by Yakui the Maid.
All of dubstep. I’m pretty sure it is just one song on a loop.
Not since the great skrillex carrington event that caused dubstep to diverge into two poles. The classic slower, 4-layer-max UK dubstep (wub wub) was forever polarized from the faster, ADHD-style, 30-layer, youtube-sample-ridden, Optimus Prime-sounding dubstep (varoo errrg gu gu errrg eeee paaaaaause didli didli skkrrrrrr). There’s at least two songs on loop now.

Although ‘enjoy’ is rather a strong word. More like “fail to dislike”. Barely.
Oh I love Bolero!!
Finger Eleven - Paralyzer
I’m just gonna leave this Plumbus here…
Pachelbel’s Canon is probably the most widely familiar forgotten song/melody that nearly everyone alive today has probably heard in some form, most without ever realizing it.
Parade of lights-human condition
Fairly simple structure, but I enjoy it.
I can’t really see a similarity between the scene and the other track you posted personally, I’m curious what makes something “feel like” it to you?
Though tangentially related, there’s a remix of that scene that lives rent free in my head
