exit music
Departure's sonic backdrop
Exit music is music played as an event concludes and people leave—at the end of a film, a theater performance, a wedding ceremony, or a funeral.
The term gained wider recognition from Radiohead's 1997 album *OK Computer*, which features "Exit Music (For a Film)." Exit music sets a final mood, offering closure or emotional punctuation: The credits rolled to haunting exit music.
