Hi I’m first
hi, no one cares.
Agreed. Maybe the green should be smaller.
Why is it even there? Does anyone really think that?
Apparently so. I don’t know why anyone could possibly hate loud bass / music coming from someones car (Unless they are highly religious? Lol)
A sleeping person? Someone in a lovely zen state? Somebody truly concerned about the healthy, prolonged hearing of others?
God never asked me to ‘turn that noise down.’ You ever been in a church when hymns are going down? Too loud, sometimes.
Because usually on the outside of the car it sounds like the piece of shit car vibrating in all the places it isn’t supposed to. Or it’s usually bad music. Even if it’s good music, you can’t hear the mids and highs when you’re listening from the car three cars over.
yeah, if i hear something from the white stripes or other indie/garage music with lots of bass, i think that too. once, i used a 15,000 car stereo system to play the hardest button to button, got ped props from like 17 guys before it was over
If you’re gonna go by with the bass cranked up blow out your own ears not ours by CLOSING THE WINDOWS ALL THE WAY
PP
Let’s be honest with ourselves, from the time of the Model T until now, has any person thought “Wow, that guy has great taste in music”?
I thought not.
I’ve thought it once when some guy was playing some metal band. I can’t remember what band, but that was the only time I EVER thought some guy had great taste in music when blasting their stereo.
Hmm yeah, when I hear music I like coming from someone else’s speakers, that’s usually what I think, what do you think? “Oh my god, that guy listens to the same music I do, he fails at being original”?
Yeah, I remember those olden days when I would drive my velocipede down Rutgers and Main. Back then, we could only go 3 miles per hour, and we were happy to have it! This was before your video games and man playing hockey on the moon. Hell, I can remember when your great grandfather and I would sit on the porch with our bayonettes attached to the ray guns and we’d wait for the aliens to come… with th… uh… nng…………..
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
OBAMA’S THE DEVIL!!! Huh?! Wha?! What time is it? Where am I? Who are you?! Who am I?!?!
Wait hold on, let me put my glasses on. There we go. Okay, where was I?
Oh yeah, so I remember when I would drive down Second Avenue and Newtgingrich Lane, and we had our Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound speakers with the tweeters and the boomers that thumped out our favorite Tupac albums. Man, we had some tricked out Model Ts in our day. As I recall, those speakers ran off of steam power. Good times.
This brings me to my point. I ran your dog over with my riding lawnmower. Happy Birthday!!
This is why I run 2 fans and the air-conditioning in the winter.
My most recent thought was:
“Dude, you’re in a purple Dodge Caravan with dents. Who are you trying to kid into thinking you’re cool?”
…because one obviously can’t be “cooler” than his ride?
free candy written on the side makes it cooler
Cool: fashionable, hip, very good (source: merriam-webster’s online)
Since playing excessively loud music out of a run-down POS is none of these things, NO it is the very act which makes said person uncool.
Wouldn’t the correct term would be “Turn it off, douche”?
Either way; the message of the graph is still conveyed, and I agree x_x
Like “Rar” I’ve only heard good music ONE time, and it was some form of rock. Countless times I’ve heard something along the lines of “Slappin those b****es” and “bangin my hoes.” Seriously. XD
I’ve heard those countless times before, too. XD
It’s kind of ridiculous. Who really enjoys that music?
But yeah. Just ONE time I’ve heard something good.
As a person who enjoys bass as well as the air outside I feel you are mistaken in some of these people’s aims. They may not be trying to look cool merely enjoying music they enjoy in an environment which they also enjoy. Just an opinion of someone who is a little different than you.
Are you one of those people that, even though your car is vibrating hard enough to dislodge screws, insist that it’s not too loud?
I’m all for loud stereos with the windows down, but save it for the interstate, man. Residential neighborhoods have sleeping babies and sickly folk and irritable teens who are just itching to snap.
…doesnt stop them for being a douche
Self-centered assholes like you should kill yourselves.
Just an opinion of someone who is a little different than you.
I suppose it is okay to annoy others and give the excuse of ‘that’s just me being different than you’.
/agree
When it comes to good music, louder is better.
Wear headphones if you like your music loud.(even in the car) Otherwise you’re just being an inconsiderate asshole.
wearing headphones while driving is illegal dumbass you can actually get pulled over for it
Did it ever occur to you that Stabby might be from somewhere else where driving while wearing headphones is NOT illegal? Maybe from another state or (shock!!) from another country?? Or do you assume to know the motor vehicle laws from all 50 states?
You’re funny! No one hears the “music”, just the boom, boom, boom that vibrates and rattles everything around your car. There are ordinances and laws against noise almost everywhere but all that’s in your pea-brain is: “who cares, I’ll do what I want and I don’t care about anyone else”. Since I’m retired, maybe I’ll follow your booming car to your house, then wait until your lights go out and I’m sure you’re sound asleep…then I’ll return the favor. I’m sure your neighbors are so used to your noise, they won’t be calling the cops on me. After a few nights (or mornings) of that, you might just get the idea that I have the right to enjoy some peace and quiet inside my home.
amen….i love loud music with tons of bass…i have a loud and clear home stereo with a lot of bass…sooooo when im by myself jamming at 100+ dbs who the hell am i trying to impress?…
The real question is, who the hell are you trying to annoy? You know, one day you might just piss off the wrong person, ever hear about the firefighter who unloaded a shotgun on his a**hole neighbors? Try being considerate of others, it won’t kill you to do it (however, it might kill you not to).
I agree. Its really annoying how people are quick to think that you’re trying to be cool or convey a certain image when in reality, having the windows down and loud bass is just an awesome experience.
Maybe for you, but certainly not for anyone around you. But, then again, you and your generation are only into your own pleasure and skrew everyone else, right?
Until you piss off the wrong person and get a face full of buckshot, THAT certainly won’t be an awesome experience.
You. sir. are still a douche. Turn your music down if you MUST “enjoy the air”.
Being a little different and interfering with other peoples lives by being a disruptive douchebag are NOT the same thing. If someone were to slash your tires, for example, that would be “a little different” but it would also be interrupting YOUR life therefore making it WRONG.
You forgot the part of the pie that says “If I had a shotgun right now I would blow out all your tires.”
Exactly LOL
and your headlamps, windscreen, windows, engine and then you
I’ve seen and heard bass so loud it set off car alarms. More noise.
I’ve seen bass and rock set of airbags. WAS HILLARIOUS
. . . ya know i really used to think that too, and I still sometimes do. But in downtown with my carpool we turn up the music not to act “cool” but to laugh at the stupidity of it all. We really don’t know WHY it’s so stupidly funny, it just is. I don’t about other people, but we turn up the music to laugh and be ridiculous. I dunno, we only turn up the oldies, not the awful music that only talks about inappropriate subjects.
Also, (i’ll wrap this up) it really depends on the people in the car. If you see that it’s a bunch of teenagers smiling and laughing, they are most likely just having fun. But if people (or a person) has music blaring and seem really serious, I would have to agree with the graph.
It’s more about location than anything. If you’re in a residential area then you’re invading people’s homes. But a commercial district isn’t bad, unless it’s obviously some douche “cruising”.
I completely agree.
Actually, I generally think “Haha, that’s guys trying to compensate for something.”
Aren’t you trying to compensate for something by posting witty comments, yourself?
ZING!!!!….hahaaha
You see, when I play loud music, I usually don’t think about that sort of thing. If anybody does – I’d like to ask what kind of music they must be listening to.
I’m thinking:
These tools have this kind of money to burn and I cannot afford a frickin’ sammich.
I’m thinking they’ll be suffering from permanent hearing loss in 5 years. Then they’ll turn it up LOUDER, making the cycle worse.
not completely true ive had mine for over 6 years without any hearing problems…
omg so tttrruuueee when ever i go by someone with loud music(thats horible) i crank up rock to kick their butt. and aggrreed the green should be smaller lol
high five
They see me mowin’ my front lawn
I know they’re all thinkin’ I’m so
White and nerdy
Think I’m just too white and nerdy
Think I’m just too white and nerdy
Can’t you see I’m white and nerdy
Look at me I’m white and nerdy
I wanna roll with the gangstas
But so far they all think I’m too
White and nerdy
Think I’m just too white and nerdy
Think I’m just too white and nerdy
I’m just too white and nerdy
Really, really white and nerdy

I just always assume the driver has an incredibly small penis.
…if that makes you feel better…
Because that makes sense.
A f**king-men!
also: “I hope that car isn’t heading my way when in disintegrates.”
I have no problem with people cranking the bass and rolling around town, in general; but I do have a problem when they’re doing it in the wee hours of the morning during the week. Sorry, dudes, some of us have day jobs and need to get some sleep.
…and some of us have night jobs and would like to sleep during the day… Your point…?
That it is better not to be a douchebag and interrupt other peoples lives (say if someone were to kick in your door and beat the living hell out of you, that would not be very nice), now if you’re saying that you’ld rather people didn’t blast there music during the day either, then I agree, if you’re saying that people should be aloud to interfere with the lives of others when ever they wish to, then you’re a douchebag.
the point is, don’t do it; period. people may THINK they’re being cool for blasting rap music on their stereos and driving around town, but really, they’re not. they’re just inconsiderate, douche bag posers trying to compensate for a small penis, and the only way to compensate for something like that, is to make it bigger lol. venn has a point, some people have TWO jobs, and need to get some sleep before heading on to their second one. maybe people in the ghetto wouldn’t be so poor if some of them didn’t spend what little money they have on stereo speakers and fake jewelry… loud music + car = douche bag that needs to be shot on sight
It’s a free country, they can play their music loud if they like.
Unless it’s lady gaga in which case they are forcing/flaunting their gay agenda on people.
So all gay people listen to Lady Gaga?
I, for one, do not. Catchy music, but pop music isn’t my style.
That pesky ‘disturbing the peace’ ordinance just needs to gtfo their basic human rights. You go, Sqwirk, fight for the common douche.
To those who say they have the “right” to listen to their music loudly, wouldn’t you say that those around you have the “right” not to hear your music at all?
Do I have the “right” to shoot a gun at random just because I own one?
Do I have the “right” to throw garbage in people’s yard because I have some?
Do I have the “right” to drive my cars into people’s homes because I own a car?
What goes through my mind is “Ah, another driver whose intelligence and consideration for others is inversely proportional to the decibels.”
Personally I usually can’t even /hear/ the music they’re listening to just THUMP THUMP THUMP and get annoyed when my windows vibrate
PS punctuation is for squares
This is the case about 90% of the time…
What I usually think is “Wow, he must have a small penis!”
True story: I was waiting at the bus stop with an older gentleman when some douche drove up with a too loud bass system. The older gentleman looked at me, pointed at his ears, then pointed at the car. I interpreted it as “I’m deaf and I can hear that!” (The town I live in has a sizable deaf/blind population.)
besides who doesn’t like LOUD music…you go to a concert and they aren’t playing out of computer speakers….
I went to one concert before I discovered that music at that volume made me vomit.
I’d ingested no alcohol, but even really great music, beating down my eardrums like that, had me ralphing on the poor girl in front of me after 30 minutes.
Ever driven around in a car with killer bass with a sore back? That sore back doesn’t last long.
nope, the headache you develop makes you forget it
Driving around makes my back hurt. Your logic is flawed.
It’s true this is a free country, and people can exercise that right “to be different that everyone else” and play their witless, immature music at excessive volume. And those people should understand that, while they are in the process of becoming deaf before they are 30, that we, ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE, are free to think that they are a Douchebag.
Reply fail?
Anyways, loud music infringes on the rights of others, so I’m pretty sure it isn’t constitutionally protected.
Yes. A ‘free country’ doesn’t mean a country with no laws. Loud bass often violates disturbing the peace AND urban noise polution laws.
I am the guy causing that green slice in the chart. My taste in music is excellent
You are my HERO! Can I get a copy of that disk? There are at least 3 cars in my neighborhood that do this. I’d love to turn them on to some new music
Try mouthing the words “there’s something wrong with your stereo” three or four times. When s/he finally turns down the music to ask what you’re saying, tell him/her that there’s something wrong with their stereo. When s/he asks what, tell them “It’s playing really BAD music really LOUD”.
I’m thinking that I should invest in hearing aid batteries, and maybe some stocks in hearing aid companies.
It’s called “disturbing the peace”. There is no reason for that except male ego-posturing. It is 4-wheeled baboon penile display. It is jumping up and down, waving your arms and yelling “LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEE!” Perhaps the government will fund sign-language schools for deaf 20-year-olds.
If only somebody would make a device that would blow those things up when they went by, I would be first in line to buy one.
Oh, you’re just… adorable. Hi, I’m a young, vibrant, outgoing 20 year old woman. I think that if you insist on cranking up your bass, rolling down your windows, and cruising through my neighborhood, then I should be allowed to insist on calling the cops on you.
I don’t care what kind of music you like or don’t like. Taste in music is not dependent on age. If you’re oblivious enough to lose consideration for my peace and quiet, I’m going to consider you a douchebag, and I will never ever take you seriously.
I’m with this person, and I’d posted a comment before, but I guess it didn’t get put up because I have a habit of slipping the “F” word into it.
I’m a 17 year old kid, and I LOVE rock and metal music, but I don’t think I have much of a right to roam around town in a car blaring music out of the speakers simply because I want to respect other people. Yes, I do want to listen to my music loudly, but I’m not going to bother others doing so.
This is a very nice, toned down version of what I said before.
The green should not be there. Rap is garbage, and people who listen to it are garbage.
I usually think, “Dear God, my whole house is vibrating as well as my teeth. How can anyone stand to actually be inside that car?” And for the record, I’m 25.
I have subwoofers, just because I love music; I’m an audiophile. Adding subwoofers adds depth and immersion into the music. Subwoofers can accurately reproduce extremely low frequency sounds which cannot be heard, only felt, and other low frequencies that normal midrange speakers cannot accurately reproduce. I have an amazing sound system in my car with component mids and tweeters, using crossovers, and two 12″ subwoofers. I enjoy blasting it, infact, I look forward to getting off of work and the ride home. Traffic? Who cares? I have an amazing sound system. I don’t care whether people like it or not, I paid for it and it gives me a sweet sense of satisfaction. Listening to “One” by Metallica is out of this world, and it simply cannot be replicated by any subwoofer lacking system.
i dont think it could be said better.
I feel the same way when i see you drive by listening to justin bieber
You can judge neighborhoods by their car audios. If rap’s pouring out, then crap’s rolling in.
it has nothing to do with tastes in music, only the love of hard hitting bass, F YEAAAAR
im pretty sure the bass is for ME and MY car, i dont give a damn what YOU think!
and people wonder why we get up at 3 am and act like zombies all day
they see me rollin…
