Hold music
A badge of honour amongst people of a certain disposition (“haltenmusikopfer”) — they who think the early bird gets the worm, the first cut is the deepest and so on.
One can also draw xenophobic stereotypes over nations and their hold music. The Brits will prefer Elgar (though Europhiles might stretch to Vivaldi); the Luxembourgische a fluffy Straussian waltz; the Austrians a Scorpions greatest hits compilation, while German firms prefer a stern female voice intoning BITTE WARTEN. BITTE WARTEN.
