Am I the only one who is starting to get sick of "classic" pop/rock?

As much as I like the stuff, and think it's really good stuff, and likely will be the best pop music ever made in the history of pop/rock music, the last year or so I'm actually starting to get really sick of the stuff. Not necessarily the stuff I listen to (though, even some of that I'm starting to give a long overdue rest), but all the "hits" you hear when you go into the supermarket. Or a department store. Or a coffee shop, or any other public place where they play music (but especially the supermarket). Pop/rock from the 60's through the 80's, invariably. I mean, how many bloody times do people want to listen to Journey's Don't Stop Believing before they get sick of it? Or Careless Whisper by Wham! I mean, some of this stuff isn't really good enough to still be playing 30-40 afterwards anyway, IMO, but it gets relentlessly played and played and played, anyway. Are they still gonna be playing this stuff in the supermarket 50 years from now?

When are they gonna give this stuff a bloody rest?? Enough already. I'm starting to long for the days when they played elevator music in the supermarket. Or, nothing at all. Heck, I can't even remember what, if anything, they played in supermarkets when I was growing up - I think maybe they played nothing at all.
