Personally, mine’s all over the place… I can see how some of the stuff I blast would be “bad” music, but really, when there’s a gridlock of cars at the Canadian border, it’s gotta make someone’s day when macarena’s nice and loud and I’m dancing in the driver’s seat.
Neither is anything else. :/ If I can hear it over my music, it’s too loud – no exceptions. How the hell are people supposed to hear a police car or ambulance? Answer: they won’t.
GRAPH DESIGN FAIL!!!
There are no quantifiers on the chart so how am I supposed to know what it’s showing? Am I to assume that from left to right is volume low to high or high to low? The same with the vertical.
“Always label your graphs to minimize confusion.” That’s my motto. I didn’t used to have a motto, then I got that one.
You should not have a motto. You should have your face in an elementary math book. Positive and high numbers, go to the right. Negative to the left.
Positive numbers go up and negative ones go down. I won’t charge you any money this time I know you need your money to buy some bad music. My motto is, PLEASE DON’T TOUCH ME THERE!
‘“Always label your graphs to minimize confusion.” That’s my motto.’
That is the worst motto I ever heard. I mean, it only works in the very specific situation of making graphs. Last I heard, most people lives did not revolve around that, so I doubt you get to pass around your “wisdom” very often. And if your life does revolved around graphs, well, then, sorry. (So, so sorry)
Really there’s no need to label it. People with fully functioning brains can understand what the graph is trying to say. If you need a motto that bad, try “I feel the need to make things overly-simplistic”. It seems to fit you better.
Yeah, I messed up and posted a self-contradictory statement. I was talking about rap being blasted. (I live near Harrisburg, PA, that’s big enough to know.) I don’t usually see a downward slope like this and was confused at first. Looking at it more, I see what it’s saying. But if you look at my comment, I said it’s the bad stuff that gets blasted. Bad stuff being rap. Well, most rap, a bit is good, but… most isn’t. ANYWAY. I messed up. Oh well.
I think too many people are reading this graph wrong. Even I read it wrong until I thought about it more. I guess that’s what separates me from these other people. Thought.
While the graph is in fact correct, (and TRUE, oh my god, Pittsburgh), it can be perceived as unclear or ambiguous. Which in some situations can be just as bad as being wrong. This is not one of them. It’s a graph, people, that has nothing to do with anything.
“I am pretty sure they meant to say that the louder the music is being played, the lower the quality is.”
Yes, that’s exactly what the graph is depicting.
Given that the graph is most likely using the Cartesian coordinate system, it can be automatically assumed that the x-axis is defined as right giving higher values than left, as well as up giving higher values on the y-axis. Therefore, the graph depicts that as volume increases (to the right,) the quality of the music decreases (down.)
I read once about some kid whose stereo was at such a high decibel level, it actually stopped his heart. That is my wish every time I’m afflicted with the ear bleeding bass from some douchebag’s stereo ….. I hope their heart stops. And that their eardrums burst. And that they get pulled over by the cops and get fined exorbiant amounts of money. Not necessarily in that order.
My city did just pass a noise ordinance, so if a cop can hear your car stereo from more than 25ft away, you get a $75 fine for the first offense, $150 for the second, $300 and having your car towed for the third. I’m not sure what happens after that, but I’m hoping for some hard core jail time!
Earlier you told me that I was incorrect in saying that someone read the graph incorrectly, and now you said exactly the same thing as I did to this guy.
I don’t get this graph. Without numbers or anything it’s hard to tell what it’s saying. I always find that the quality of the “music” – not that it really is music – goes WAY DOWN the louder the volume is.
A great graph would have something to do with the people who can’t seem to figure this graph out.
Typically, people, lower numbers are at the origin [as in zero, as in the bottom right corner of the graph] and get bigger out from there.
That just made no sense. [self-labeled fail]
Yeah, I get that it’s saying Low Quality Music = High Volume, but it took me forever to see that on the graph because the downward sloping line makes it confusing.
Just because I get what it’s trying to say doesn’t mean it’s saying it very clearly.
While you don’t need units, you definitely need to get your axis right. X is for independent, Y is for dependent. Since the quality of your music dosn’t change as you turn up or down the volume, quality needs to be represented on the X axis.
We are getting way too technical here, people. The person who made the graph clearly fails at being funny, and the people who are trying to defend it, while correct, are not seeing the big picture that the graph is depicted incorrectly when pertaining to humor. You don’t create graphs on the site using a coordinate system. So, basically everyone fails but me.
How true, especially in and around Detroit.
good quality music is always louder??? Sure, when it’s coming from /my/ stereo… but other ppls… no way!
Graph reading fail. Louder volume equals lower quality.
Personally, mine’s all over the place… I can see how some of the stuff I blast would be “bad” music, but really, when there’s a gridlock of cars at the Canadian border, it’s gotta make someone’s day when macarena’s nice and loud and I’m dancing in the driver’s seat.
lol
actually, graph writing fail…..
Aye, that would completely make my day.
actually the graph doesn’t says clearly where the volume goes higher and where the quality gets better so…
Graph writing fail
If it’s too loud, you’re too old.
Hope you enjoy your hearing aids later on
Huh?
WIN
Epic, at that.
Hope he enjoys that high-pitched squealing sound 24/7 too.
Speak up! You’re mumbling.
If it’s too loud, you’re too STUPID!!!
This graph is all perspective.
Sorry Country music isn’t something i should be able to hear from the inside of my car coming from the next car over.
FAIL
country isn’t music
Depends….. Cash is definitely music.
Touche…
FAIL
Country is more music than mindless bass and lyrics about raping people. :/
Not to say all rap/rock/whatever is bad, but the stuff people blast often makes me want to rip out their speakers.
Neither is anything else. :/ If I can hear it over my music, it’s too loud – no exceptions. How the hell are people supposed to hear a police car or ambulance? Answer: they won’t.

You are and idiot.
You are and FAIL.
I have a motto:
“If everything is coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.”
I’ve always had that one and haven’t had a head on collision yet.. oh, except once with reality.. which reminds me of my other motto:
“Sometimes reality seems so close I swear I can almost reach out and touch it!”
Really there’s no need to label it. People with fully functioning brains can understand what the graph is trying to say. If you need a motto that bad, try “I feel the need to make things overly-simplistic”. It seems to fit you better.
Actually, it’s the bad stuff that gets blasted. This graph is the inverse of the truth.
Actually, that’s exactly what this graph depicts.
COMPREHENSION FAIL.
Yeah, I messed up and posted a self-contradictory statement. I was talking about rap being blasted. (I live near Harrisburg, PA, that’s big enough to know.)

I noticed that too. The graph is backwards. As the music gets worse, the volume goes up, not down.
Nevermind, I just looked at it again, and… it’s right. I fail’d.
Athanar FTW!
… Huh?
Either the graph is backwards, or the creator of the graph lives around lots of nice people.
Also, it would be nice if the graph wasn’t linear.
I think too many people are reading this graph wrong. Even I read it wrong until I thought about it more. I guess that’s what separates me from these other people. Thought.
Still, the graph would benefit from some labels.
It took me a second to get it as well, but it’s really not that difficult to understand. People should use their brains more.
iawtc.
It was the lack of labels plus the low number of downward-sloping graphs that confused me…
Pretty funny! what about people like me who turn down their music at stop lights when the windows are down?
My car has a feature that does that automatically. It is very cool.
While the graph is in fact correct, (and TRUE, oh my god, Pittsburgh), it can be perceived as unclear or ambiguous. Which in some situations can be just as bad as being wrong. This is not one of them. It’s a graph, people, that has nothing to do with anything.
Yay graph.
So the highest quality music is complete silence?
Yes.
Have you ever *heard* complete silence? It’s beautiful. *tear* (We have kids…)
Yeah, sorry, fail. I am pretty sure they meant to say that the louder the music is being played, the lower the quality is. Otherwise there’s no joke.
I do believe that the fail is on you…
QFT. I’ve shat bricks smarter than you, theloofa.
Do explain. ;3
“I am pretty sure they meant to say that the louder the music is being played, the lower the quality is.”

Can I move to wherever it is you live?
Definitely true… though some more labelling on the Y-axis especially would’ve been helpful.
At the top we might see “Classical”, “Jazz”, other bits of classy music…
Then at the very bottom “Rap/Reggaton”.
Then, if you tend to disagree with which music is good, you can flip the graph around, until you like it.
+laugh+ I like that idea.
I totally get it, and I totally agree.
This is backwards. The louder it is, the lower quality it is.
Your ass is on backwards. Learn to read graphs.
Ok, wtf…
Earlier you told me that I was incorrect in saying that someone read the graph incorrectly, and now you said exactly the same thing as I did to this guy.
Nothing you think or write matters. You can’t read graphs and shouldn’t even be outside the kitchen in the first place, woman.
I don’t get this graph. Without numbers or anything it’s hard to tell what it’s saying. I always find that the quality of the “music” – not that it really is music – goes WAY DOWN the louder the volume is.

*bottom left.
truer graphs have never been created.
…well, maybe they have. but not likely.
Yeah, I get that it’s saying Low Quality Music = High Volume, but it took me forever to see that on the graph because the downward sloping line makes it confusing.
Just because I get what it’s trying to say doesn’t mean it’s saying it very clearly.
this graph is the wrong way round, surely the loude the music the lower the quality. Funny idea though.
Amazing that dyslexia is so common among those who post here.
Well, if low quality music gets blasted at max… I guess all my tunes are set to mute.
Following this graph to the far left, isn’t it saying the best music is at imperceptible volume levels? haha
Shouldn’t it be the other direction?
not that funny akshully
While you don’t need units, you definitely need to get your axis right. X is for independent, Y is for dependent. Since the quality of your music dosn’t change as you turn up or down the volume, quality needs to be represented on the X axis.

…Wow, if you’re going to post a graph, make sure you have it right.
