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'm mostly referring to clothes stores

Ugh, I've always hated the lyric free versions of songs that played in the JC Penny (?) clothing section my mother used to drag me to.

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

I thought Imagine Dragons was a band I'd never heard until I checked out some of their songs and realized I've actually heard them a million times ... always in grocery stores shopping at night.
