lean-back
Tilt chair backward
Lean-back describes passive media consumption where the audience relaxes and receives content without interaction—watching television, listening to a podcast, viewing a film.
The term contrasts with lean-forward experiences like gaming or web browsing, where users actively engage: Streaming services offer lean-back entertainment for tired viewers.
The posture is literal: you sit back rather than hunch toward a screen.
