Loud music | TheaterFire

[-]

Loud actual music never bothered me and I still crank my music up while driving. What does bother me is loud monotone bass notes, usually the same note over and over. Never liked them when they first started becoming popular in the mid-late 90’s and I still can’t stand them.

Some dude way back when was doing that. All you could hear from them was the bass. Just, ugh.

I had a full system, not just bass, in my car ($2500 stereo in a $1000 car in the early 90s). I drowned him out with Fleetwood Mac (Go Your Own Way). Lots of mids and highs. I saw the passenger hand crank his window up really fast, looking angry.

Same, 148dbs of full range punk and rock. When a booming car would pull up I would crank up.

[-]

Single_Spare_9998@reddit

Bonus was 4th of July had plenty of bass to show them up.

[-]

ccc1942@reddit

Exactly. When someone pulls up next to me at a stoplight and everything is vibrating I can literally feel the bass, it’s a bit much.

I still crank mine up in the car, especially when I can put the windows down. It's maybe the one part of driving I don't absolutely abhor.

I've discovered that "loud" music means music I don't like. The Amazon driver who pulls into our parking lot 3-4 times a week blaring some awful modern hip-hop? That's loud. My older neighbor who had the radio on and I could hear the end of a Queen song? I'm going to go take the garbage out so he and I can chat for a minute. It's all in the ear of the beholder.

Do as I say, not as I do.

rockjones@reddit

I've always been polite. Loud music while moving, but I turned it down at stops and residential areas. Same way today.

[-]

FormerCollegeDJ@reddit

The fact you used the word “bucko” like Richie Cunningham did on Happy Days should make you feel old too.

[-]

Buttchunkblather@reddit

I like to call people “Fucko”. Because it’s anachronistic and vulgar. And that describes me.

[-]

Hot_Molasses_4006@reddit

Hey Bucko Fucko,watch your mouth!

[-]

TapeFlip187@reddit

I know a guy named Joe Fucko. When I met him I was like... how have I never heard this as anyone's nickname before...\ It's kind of perfect.

[-]

ScoobyDarn@reddit

In Good fellas, Deniro woke up some Feds sleeping in a parking lot by saying : Cmon fuckos, let's go.

[-]

TapeFlip187@reddit

Goddamnit. Im part of the problem. Ima start crowbarrin in fucko any chance I get until it's organically in rotation. I did it with numbnuts and jabroni, I can do it w/fucko.

[-]

ScoobyDarn@reddit

I like terms such as fuck knuckle and chucklefuck, too.

Thanks to keta, who brought those terms into my life.

[-]

Buttchunkblather@reddit

Twatwaffle is the new asshat.

[-]

ScoobyDarn@reddit

Of course, there's jagoff but I grew up saying that.

[-]

TapeFlip187@reddit

My buddy gave me a book w/like the vernacular of Pittsburgh and jagoff was featured prominently lol

[-]

Moody_GenX@reddit (OP)

I still use a lot of words from back then, lol.

I'm 59. My stereo doesn't go under level 10. Everybody gonna hear what I'm listening to. IDGAF

[-]

Ewendmc@reddit

Mine goes up to 11.

[-]

JtownATX01@reddit

I just got a new (used) truck and the factory stereo works and sounds great. Really full sound and clarity, no blown speakers. Perfectly fine stereo

So the Kicker underseat powered subwoofer is a 10" and 180 watts. $370 from Amazon, arrives next week

[-]

basementguerilla@reddit

I hate that shit. It's just performative theatre. I crank some Slayer or whatever in my truck but not to the point that everyone in a six block radius needs to hear it. I know what music I like, I am not so insecure that I also need everyone else to know what music I like.

[-]

GrumpyCatStevens@reddit

I came about my hearing loss naturally - loud music, loud race cars, and a few years playing lead guitar in a band.

[-]

MaximumJones@reddit

These assholes don't realize that some of us need to turn the radio volume down so we can see how to drive better. 🥸

[-]

apmcpm@reddit

I have a fond memory of being on the bus on the way to a high school football game and the coach yelled, “be quiet, the drive can’t see”

Awesome

[-]

LarrySDonald@reddit

Yes. How am I supposed to read the street signs over all the noise?

[-]

Moody_GenX@reddit (OP)

Facts, lol.

[-]

Mental_K_Oss@reddit

That's why I driven with air pods in, blast music of my choice and don't have to hear bucko's crap.

[-]

Northman_76@reddit

But would you have felt that way if he was blasting Styx, Winger, White Snake, Great White, Beastie Boys???? 🤣

[-]

ProStockJohnX@reddit

I'm extremely hypocrital when it comes to loud music when driving.

I'll crank my music all the way up, usually metal, but will shoot you a disapproving frown if you playing loud music I don't like.

[-]

ChitownAnarchist@reddit

I was just thinking of this lately. Remembering the days when I took my enlistment bonus and got the big-ass stereo stack with the biggest speakers my roommates would stand.

Now, I am happy with just my ear buds and keeping it to myself. And loud enough to drown out the US Army issued Tinnitus.

[-]

LoudMind967@reddit

I was never in the army but I got the tinnitus from the Led Zeppelin

[-]

knarfolled@reddit

Except when I pulled up next to a car blaring Tears for Fears and we both did a duet at the red light

[-]

Aggravating-Shark-69@reddit

It’s the assholes on the motorcycles with freaking car stereos on them now those are the ones that piss me off.

[-]

Moody_GenX@reddit (OP)

Those ones always cracked me up when I was still living in the states. They have a helmet one with communication ability with their passenger or CB but they have that blaring as loud as possible. I don't know how they hear it with the wind plus helmet.

[-]

Magica78@reddit

The difference is I'm blasting Dio, and Dio is awesome.

[-]

BigAndTall1968@reddit

He totally is! 🤘😎🤘

Novel_Willingness721@reddit

53M I still crank up my music. That said, I only want to hear MY music that way. But I don’t begrudge those who blast their music, I just crank mine louder

[-]

BigAndTall1968@reddit

I'm 57 and still crank the tunes in my truck. I'm not shaking windows or thumping the doors off, but it's noticeable. Love my music!!

🤘😎🤘

[-]

AnonymousInGB@reddit

Get off my lawn!

[-]

sajouhk@reddit

I do it all the time. Windows down, Fu Manchu cranked to eleven. Don’t like it? Roll up your windows.

[-]

GoobyGrapes@reddit

I still crank it way up in the car. I've adopted a slogan for myself that I stole from a meme: I don't always listen to heavy metal, but when I do, so does everyone else at the red light.

[-]

Massive_Biscotti_850@reddit

Same here, but opposite, I blast reggae.

[-]

MADMACmk1@reddit

About to hit 50. If I'm in the car on my own, I turn it up to 11.

[-]

Healthy-Brilliant549@reddit

Keep that shit down. Not everyone likes loud music forced on them

[-]

Ok-Offer-541@reddit

I’m the same way. Times have changed. I think I got use to “quiet” and now any noise is too much. 😆 definitely getting old.

[-]

itzjuztm3@reddit

I still abide by the motto "if it's too loud, you're too old".

And besides, why wouldn't everyone else want to listen to my music? It is the best ever made and anyone that thinks differently... well their taste is all in their mouth.

[-]

WesternPancake@reddit

and I'm on the other side of too old, where it must be too loud for me to hear it

[-]

Sufficient_Stop8381@reddit

Saying bucko also makes us old

[-]

ONROSREPUS@reddit

I am still the loud and proud type but I don't have the big boom booms I did as a kid.

[-]

crispy-jalapeno@reddit

I’m the same. I usually turn my music up just loud enough to drown out the sound of tinnitus now.
