“Am I getting older or is the supermarket playing great music”

So this quest would help to determine my reply to a meme that makes the rounds on social media every few months: “Am I getting old, or is the supermarket playing great music?”
 
Turns out that I am getting old — and the supermarket is playing a lot of great music.
