it probably would have bothered me when i was a teenager, but at the end of the day it doesnt effect my enjoyment. i discovered an awesome nina simone song in a commercial last year, someone might discovery 'tool' at some point years from now when 'sober' is in a commercial for anti-depressant medication.

There are some artistic integrity principles that feel unworthy of my time as I get older and have less of it to spare, and this is one of them. That's not to say that it can't lead to some things that rub me the wrong way, but at worst I'll roll my eyes and move on. In the end it doesn't really affect my relationship with the music.

i generally feel the same, that it won't effect my feelings for the music.. but for some reason LZ's Rock 'n Roll will be forever associated with that car commercial in my mind

i can't think of any off the top of my head, but i'm sure there are songs i hear on the radio that remind me of commercials. there's also songs i would probably prefer not to be in commercials, but at this point in music industry history it seems like its not as offensive to have songs in commercials.

There are only a few songs that are forever affiliated with commercials for me, the biggest one being Bob Seger's "Like a Rock" (not a song I really would have been inclined to like anyway).
There is a cover version of the Beatles' "Getting Better" that was used in a series of Philips flat-screen TV ads in the late '90's, though thankfully that hasn't tainted my relationship with the original.
The Sundays' version of the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses" was used in an ad featuring the Budweiser clydesdales in the mid-'90's; I remember it aired relentlessly during NBA on NBC during the season that Michael Jordan was playing AA baseball. I had never heard the original and assumed it was a song written exclusively for the commercial, and I thought the singer was singing "the world, world of horses."
In both of the two previous cases, I really liked the songs themselves, even as they appeared in the commercials, and I guess would consider those commercials my "introductions" to them, which is probably why I remember them so well.
Beyond those, the only reason I remember these at all is because of the ruckus fans cause about them (i.e. Bob Dylan in that Victoria's Secret commercial).

private equity is generally oriented towards extractive capitalism, so the existential danger I see is more AI-assisted production. For example, one day we'll probably get a bunch of make believe Nirvana tunes that sound real.
