Hate?
A lot of people hated Muzak. Many gave it as an example as what sort of piped in music would be played in Hell, if you were so unlucky as to wind up there.
I worked in retail and heard nothing but Muzak all day, yes I can say with all certainty that I hated it. It made time pass by even slower. 
And it is all true. Muzak took real music and turned it into "sound mayonnaise." Literally sludge oozing into your ear. It is perfectly acceptable to hate Muzak.
