People's reaction to your music

Mark1010 · 07-14-2013, 04:39 PM

My hearing must be shot because I can't hear a dang thing with the windows down. I have the factory system; this must change soon...

People always do a double take on me..... Shaved head, douche beard, and on the hefty side. People always mistake me for hispanic or Philipino (I am Cambodian) and love Country music

It's always fun when I have friends in the car and the 1st preset on my car is the Country station. They know I listen to it, they just never realized its my first choice

I guess I tend not to play my music loud enough to impact other people (unless they're on their phone with the window open; then it's game on). If I did, they'd just hear some techno/edm/trance (I hesitate to say I listen to dubstep, but it's present at times), classical, or chill out electronic. Nothing too amazing.

Just to say, there's nothing wrong with liking Katy Perry's music. For some reason it just absolutely works way more than it should, and sounds great. It's like hating rap, but finding some rap artists hit your taste buds just right and it makes you happy.

Fixed.

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.

Yeah, I should have just looked that up.

Clearly not a huge fan; I'm usually pretty behind on new music since I don't listen to the radio.

She makes music?

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

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...

ElVee · 07-15-2013, 02:50 PM

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.
