People's reaction to your music
 

Question up front: What kind of reactions do you get from people in your area regarding the music you play in your Z? (if you play music in your Z...)
Yet another totally "out there" thread from me. I enjoy these things:icon17:

So, my father is from south Houston, TX and my mother is from Anahuac, TX. I was raised up on a lot of country/bluegrass music. Love Garth, Dolly, Merle, Cash, Willie Nelson, etc. Up here in North Dakota I get a lot of strange looks when I blast my country in my Z. The attached picture is me. I am in the very front. Do people expect me to play dubstep or something because I drive a hot red sports car? (Wub, wub wub! Wah-wah-wah-wah! Bey doo, wah doo, Bass-Cannon, remix!!! WTF :confused:)

I try not to be the kind of person to play my stuff loud enough for someone else's entertainment but I have put on Catharsis by Die Vinderbannten Kinder Evas or some other intense, dark piano music. The confusion on their faces is rather priceless. :icon14:

I too was raised on country music from my parents. I love all genres of music, including country. So sometimes I will listen to country and I have never received more WTH looks, as when I blast Nitty Gritty Dirt Band "Fishin in the Dark" when cruisin through Los Angeles!

no carrie underwood for you, op? :rofl2:


i only play the gong in my car every 5seconds to ensure my chinese heritage.

BOOOWAAANNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!

ok, so im not chinese.

Yesterday I was playing Halestorm's, Here to Us very loud. Came to a stoplight when another car pulled up next to me. Just then, the chorus hit (those of you who have heard this song know the part I'm referring too here) and I looked to my left to see this lady in her 50's start to roll up her window and shake her head from side to side. She even pointed her finger at me waving it from side to side. I started to crack up, LMFAO and took off leaving her to wave her finger at no one.

i would be too embarrassed to see that.

lmfao! every time "Two Black Cadillacs" comes on the radio in my office I turn it up so the Navy Liaisons can hear me next door! :rofl2:

Ya that or they are expecting to hear 2 Chainz or some bad Hip Hop music lol.

I don't play mine that loud that I think people hear it but I'm a R&B, Hip Hop guy with some Electronic Music mixed in.

I remember getting looks when playing the "Drive" soundtrack or when I play British Hip Hop like "The Streets"

i'm so far the opposite direction from everyone in here lol

i love when people shoot weird looks from 1 of 3 things when i pull up.

1. straight pipe downshift sound that makes most jump.
2. horror when i have on deathcore/hardcore stuff on like chelsea grin or suicide silence
3. confusion when i have dubstep playing.

:icon17: I'm picturing another old grey-haired lady in a Sunday church outfit shaking her head in disgust!

well they do then i just launch when the light goes green and let them smell cat-less exhaust and scare them even more lol

Play country music super loud and scream FTW!

:icon18: FTW Is this what you would tell someone if they signalled for you to turn it down?

ehhh too serious. i'd just laugh at them and drive away :driving:

Chuck Berry is high on my play list---but none of you guys know the music from those days. Like the guy in the movie said, "Rock 'n Roll ain't been no good since Buddy Holly died."

:icon17: lmfao

Long story short, as a Captain in the Army, I went to the career course.
They asked what mattered more for my next assignment: Location or Position?
I chose position, and said I am flexible with where they send me (which I truly am).
And now....I am here in the Great Northern Plains!

i have to disagree being only 29 and listening to all the oldies that my mom played on the radio whenever we were in the car, i tend to lean more towards the beatles most of the time though rather than chuck berry :D

oh and remember, good music doesn't die, it just becomes classic

I'm usually rocking an assortment of classic rock whether it be radio or mixed CD's. I'll turn it up a bit on the highway but I am considerate of others and turn it way down in residential areas or where people are walking and close enough to hear it. Guess I should be in an 80's Grand National or Camaro. :roflpuke2: :happydance:

Ok I'll post. Lol
Me and a buddy of mine were in my car driving back from the gym, and the teenage girl song comes up. The song was pretty catchy back then so I knew a few pieces of the song and started singing it for the hell of it to embarrass my friend. So as we pull up to a red light, a convertible mustang with 4 girls (4 very hot girls) pulls up right next to the passenger side and the look on their face when they saw me jamming out to Katy perry was priceless lol. If you can imagine it, the girls got stuck staring at us, my friend kept looking back and forth at me and then the girls (like a WTF cut it out already face) and I was minding my own business singing away like If I was at a concert or something with the volume close to full blast. Haha. My friend was pretty pissed off about it afterwards, and I had me a good laugh embarrassing the hell out of him. Lol.

.. Anywhoo, lol. Other than that, I haven't had any comments or faces with the music I listen to. It's usually never loud enough for other cars to hear, and I hardly ever have anyone other than my Gf in the Z.

I usually don't play my music loud enough for anyone else to hear - mainly because I hate people who inflict their crappy music on others, but once in a while I do turn it up. Then I get looks because people don't expect a (usually) professionally dressed woman in a nice car to be blasting Rise Against, Slayer, or Avenged Sevenfold.

Also, I am a one trick pony in my musical taste, so don't be bringing your Dave Matthews CDs into my car or they will be frisbee'd out the window.

then you know how i feel when i have my deathcore stuff playing on the way home from work in traffic in very nice clothes lol

I only listen to my exhaust note. That's my music.:tup:

People usually roll their windows up if they were previously down. lol

It's not embarrassing until you get caught singling along at a red light.

hahaha, i do that too during my commute. i hate hearing random music from some random car. sounds like crap anyways with their trunk lid and rear license plate buzzing from all the bass, etc. :ugh2: the driver probably doesnt even know he looks like an idiot while doing it. :rofl2:

I listen to everything.

However, if my windows are down and I pull into a place or to a stop light, I turn my music down (yeah, I'm one of those types of people). :icon17:

If someone is in my car, I don't play the music very loud at all. To where you can barely hear it, I like to be able to hear what people are saying... not sure why I assume we always have to be conversing whilst driving though.

:tup: it's usually coming from a 1989 CRX on chrome 15s or something of that ilk

:icon18: in my area it's maximas and some domestic.

i have to admit...i've been at a stop light and have danced / sang to this while driving the Z. the looks you get are PRICELESS.


U U UWAH UWAH!

I often do an interpretive dance to the Divinyls "Touch Myself" at the light and you should see the looks I get.

I'm kinda obsessed with this song at the moment:Chiodos "Caves" Official Music Video - YouTube
I always sing along to whatever I'm listening to because I have but not one **** to give:happydance:

The 2 bands getting the most play time in my 370 are The Cult & Steel Panther.
The first one doesn't bother anyone, but I get some interesting looks when I've got the second one cranked up!

All I gotta say, Carrie Underwood "Before He Cheats"

Oh Carrie...she treats me so good, and has no idea!

:icon18::icon18::icon18:

dude, if you're gonna post that song at least get the more popular one with the big boobs anime girls in it, pfft, amateur :rolleyes:



still love ya though saber :D

:tup:

:icon14: you sir, have blown my mind. That video made me feel so much more awkward than I ever imagined it would. So...yeah. I think, I need a drink.

Taylor swift inevitably comes on when I pull up to a light..

And you know, Taylor Swift and Hunter Hayes get played a lot up here. I just sing along and keep the party going. When feel good songs like "cruise" - by Florida Georgia Line comes on, I really do enjoy singing it loud.

I should have included in the intro to this thread: Does anyone sing along with your music when you are singing in your Z?
