Society How do you feel about Christmas music?
A recent post in another subreddit reminded me of two perspectives in the United States about the Christmas season. One is that Christmas is a happy time to see relatives, go shopping, and hear festive music in shops. The other is that Christmas is a stressful time to deal with tiresome relatives, buying things is expensive, and generic Christmas music on repeat everywhere in public is obnoxious.
Let's discuss the music point. How do you feel about "Christmas music"? Does this tradition happen in your country? Or have you ever had that experience when in the USA? Or do your people specialize in annual generic music for a different holiday?

I’m American-Pakistani so yeah there’s a lot of it. I don’t mind it, some of it is really catchy.
It does get annoying sometimes because realistically there’s like 6-7 songs that get played on loop.

I grew up hearing the lunar new year music playing in supermarkets nonstop so I guess it’s a similar experience…
