This has not happened to us, yet, and I'm not sure that it will happen. We enjoy classical symphony and jazz but last night we were cranking the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, The Cult, Clapton....and, of course, Jimmy Buffet.

I think that older people often still enjoy a wide range of music. Their concerts tend to be earlier in the day/evening. I'm not sure when the squares shut down shop but I'm guessing it's a lot earlier than, say, a college town would.
