When Kruwoski says, “the marginal-the rejected-the repressed-is whatever the powerful have decided is of no use at the moment.”, he states that society has control over the components exposed in the world and chooses what they do with it. Apart from citizens, corporations and programs are in charge of making it popular, disliking it, or updating it due to lack of appreciation or old quality. Kruwoski also describes that there is something powerful in recovering what power has rejected which refers to society. This idea shows the community has two types of people, the ones who go with the flow and are part of what the majority are into at the moment and the ones interested in the shadows. These people are open to maintaining different expectations and accept a variety of tastes.

Kruwoski comments that being surprised by music happens when you find tunes similar to your past experiences with music. This procedure occurs through digital corporations that can predict future likings due to recent history. Still, at the same time, it prevents you from having new and original experiences. Oppositely, discovering music is the process of having contact with new horizons where you can explore freely with no idea of what conforms to it.

The music experiences from Forced Exposure are songs extracted globally and give many users a chance to create new expectations in music and expand their music taste. Music organizations like Spotify only offer you themes related to your taste in music and stay inside your music bubble due to a computer programmer controlling the app.
