People's reaction to your music

ElVee · 07-15-2013, 08:43 AM

I do like to stash New Kids on the Block or Backstreet Boys cds in friends' cars or through windows that are left open a crack.

"Uhh, dude, why do you have this? Is there something you want to tell me?" "It's not mine..."

It's better if you find them used cheap.

I blame myself most of the time. I like to roll the windows down and jam to my music. Between trying to drown out other people's music, the noise from the road, and actively preventing people from talking to me (get ready for that thread coming up soon from me

) I keep the music just loud enough for people in the next lane to hear.

No worries though, because even though I get strange looks, they're not for very long. Country is pretty popular up here in the North. And much like people have said before, when I sing along, or jam to a song, it's a popular one

She makes music?

In regard to what other people think, I will take on the role of angry old cane waver for a moment:

Probably, hardly anyone really cares about the particular music anybody plays one way or the other, it's the THRUMMMMMMMMM BUMMMMMM BUZZZZZZBUMMMMMMMMM of people's overclocked bass systems that is intolerable.

Music, even terrible music, good.

Unintelligible sonic vibrations that rattle one's fillings, bad.

I don't care if its Crunk or Punk, Bluegrass or Beethoven, Dub Reggae or Dubstep, Polka accordion (fine music to drink beer to, BTW) or G.G Allin (fine music to smash beer bottles to...)-- if I feel someone else's music more than I can hear it, its kind of annoying...

You feel it and hear their own car buzzing/rattling in pain.

my exhaust makes some of those noises being that it's 95% straight pipes. does that count?

Some guys dont like loud music. I listen to the music in my car. Not for you.

Its usually people who have a problem with minor things like that have problems themselves.

If it is in within a neighborhood or some place people might be sleeping or otherwise could reasonably expect not to be bothered by music, I turn it down. On a roadway away from homes, I don't hesitate to listen at a volume that is pleasurable despite the possibility of some (significant) sound leakage. That is, one might have to deal with my leakage on the street.

You might want to have someone take a look at that.

Well, to offer my 2 cents I'd have to hear it, but I'll offer this point to compare and contrast.

Ever see a honda with a black rear bumper (the rest of the car not being painted black, or perhaps being a motley of unpainted, ill fitting parts), and it is not the appearance of the car that is so bad, its the sounds it produces?

the BUURRRZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZ THBBBBBBBBBZZZZZZZBRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPZZZZZZZZZMM MMMMM.

It's in a key that makes your ear drums bleed and forces one to wonder how much faster the noisemaker could possibly be as a result of making that ******* skulldrilling sound.

If your car is is producing sounds in that ball park... well... yeah, possibly.

( Click to show/hide )

Anyway, maybe 'cause I'm a car guy, I can tolerate a wide range of exhaust notes (although we all know tuning those notes turns out to be a real musical endeavor -- see further the praise heaped on the LFA for making magical noises at full tilt).

But the random shocks to the system from too much bass vibrating the offending car, the ground, and the ******* walls of buildings in the periphery. That's probably very rarely appreciated...

well i mean mine isnt a sony tuned "instrument" like a LFA (actually been next to one at cars and coffee for a mini rev off) but it's far from some universal muffler a ricer just straps on a honda lol

my sig shows my exhaust set-up

sadly though i got a weird look yesterday when i pulled up to a light playing asking alexandria. not sure if it was because of the screaming or the lyrics being....

I'd wink suggestively at you if I heard those lyrics pull up next to me.
