The only problem I have with old songs, I work retail. The Muzak system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzak) repeats the same songs multiple times a day.

Dude. I worked retail back in the aughts, and when I go in stores today, I still hear many of the same songs from back then

There are different channels. The stores you're going into are playing that music by choice, often to cater to specific demographics. You wouldn't expect, say, a skateboard shop to play classical, just as you wouldn't expect a greeting card store to play death metal. I remember when the hardware store I worked in switched from instrumental to music with lyrics.

I would happily shop at a greeting card store that played death metal — and I don't even like death metal.
