What are you listening to right now?

I haven't seen drivers listening to that kind of music anywhere. It's like he suddenly turns on some kind of symphonic metal. Usually, they play some awful chanson or depressing pop or retro music.

Yeah, that's true. Although, I once took a taxi where they were playing some old-school rock.
The point is that they play music that everyone can listen to, or rather, most people, and pop music is pop music because everyone listens to it. If a driver plays metal, many people will be annoyed by that kind of music.
True, The Prodigy is quite acceptable music, you can play it in a taxi or bus. As is old-school rock.

Well, why not on the radio? There are different kinds of radio stations. For example, he could play some old electronic music.
