Sometimes you don't have a choice. If your boomer plant manager wants the radio on, tuned to a pop station that's considered "inoffensive" all day, then the people who work there are going to be subjected to that crap all day.
Don't act like songs and other media can't be forcefully shoved down our throats.
Fortunately, I was a bit of a "goth kid" as a young teen, so as I was going through that phase I discovered incredible music and moved far, far away from the mass-produced garbage that is "popular" at the time. While my peers were listening to Jay Z and Eminem and Katy Perry, I was listening to Opeth or Dream Theater or Nightwish. I even delved into some of the really underground shit, like Eyehategod, but I kinda grew outta that shit.
I am offended by the shit they play in pharmacies and grocery stores. I guess I'm a weirdo for not liking the "Weeee oooo, weeeee ooooo!" song, or the "Winter" song, etc..
Songs and other media can't be forcefully shoved down our throats without our consent.

Are those people kept there as slaves, or do they literally choose to go to that place every day? Stores or other businesses that subject you to auditory attack? You almost always have to intentionally enter through a door to accept their programming. Go to decent stores, or order from the internet if you have none in your area.
