Car Music

[AOI_Tifa_Lockhart]

Hiya all,

Why does it always seem to be (on the whole) that the people with the worst taste in music play it loudest from their cars? :-? I think it's just a lack of appeal in general for this whole boy racer culture. I mean they should just save up their money and buy a big engined car, not some tiny 1.2 litre monstrosity with a baked bean can for an exhaust, suspension lower than your grandmothers breasts and a huge spoiler bolted onto the boot to obviously keep the 75 hp stallion firmly attatched to the road so it doesn't take off into orbit from the sheer torque....

People are not too bright, and they are wrestling with the socioeconomic expectations of their not-too-bright peers, rather than the engineering limits of their machines. I suspect most of them outgrow it.

Everybody finds out Bass > :fish: @ first when not knowing how to pronounce, is something they can dap their bros for, peer pressure.

Forgetting or outright ignoring Treble, is just as nice.

Friend's sister in High School got a Civic equipped with BIG BOOM BASS soundsystem, played it on "loudest turned to 11 notch" on the dials when riding with bro.

Later got a ride with her and another friend of her's and both the girls wanted to play some girlier acceptable quieter R&B, and upon trying they could not hear it anymore, then she figured why did she even put this in the car - damn bro "blew out the tweeter"/everything else that's not bass with his bass playlists.

I don't understand either. It's the same with people using headphone's listening to MP3 players or Ipods. Is it really necessary to have the stuff so loud?

[Dhylec]

I don't often run into those who play super loud music from their cars, but I can't stand it - no matter the type of music or the coolness of the car.

Ranchera music, tex-mex, gangsta rap at full blast is far more annoying that those damned horns during the World Cup... =/

But it gets worse.... that music at full blast and them trying to yell to their "bros" on Nextell phones like they are V.I.P. or something. BOOM BOOM BOOM "WUT UP" BOOM BOOM " I SAIS WUT UP FOOLIO" BOOM BOOM "SPEAK UP, I CANT HEAR YOU" BOOM BOOM....

Yeah... another thing to add to their list of brain cell killing activities.

[Sayara]

Ear drum cells too right? ^

Generally, yes.

I know I blast the finest gangsta rap with my windows down:

Hiya all,

I agree Palle, they are struggling, with many things I fear. None of them have any idea of engineering, the people who do tend to stick to track days as a hobby. These people just tart up low powered cars, it's all a bit ridiculous. What started it? Surely not fast and furious, that burke Vin Diesel can't be that much of a role model?

Bass is additcive I admit, been to many an illegal rave dnacing infront of a wall of speakers in the middle of a field/forest/abandoned warehouse. But in a car? I'm not sure sure on the inside the bass might deafen out any reverberation. but to the person wlaking on the street it just sounds like a rattlesnake blowing a tuba.

Yeeah, the whole wearing headphones in car confuses me too, especially iPod headphones (they're soo poor quality yet so expensive?!?....oh wait that's Apple as a whole)

Funnily enough the people with amazing cars don't deafen passer's by...other than with the sheer torque and oomph of the engine, which to be honest I love, sure they might have a microscopic member (although that's hideous stereotyping) but I do love and appreciate cars.

Can't say i'm a fan of hip hoppity either.

but yes ear drums are important...shame I got tinnitus in one ear and i'm only 23 >_>

Found out later, Rasta Spidey is from De La Soul, the old school.

I liked when they also were in some Gorillaz songs ("don't stop get it - get it") and made someone like an Eihwaz freak out, "too much rap in his rock, man! >_>" <- with that darned bracketface that adds nothing and makes you look bad for saying it, post backfire.

Yeah, a chorus and one verse, when Gorillaz animated kidman gets 3 verses and 4 repeat choruses.

Dang kids, "unforgivable wackness," don't like unity or only let the hip-hoppers working behind the scenes to produce music.

I like blasting a lot of 80's and enjoy people's reactions.

[Weeaboolits]

I think it's funny how people play it so loud and bassy that you can't tell what they're even listening to, it just sounds like "BVVVV BVVV BVVVV VVV VVV" no matter what it might be.

If you're out in Oakland, California, don't play any of that pop music, like Tupac. Gotta play Oakland's own,

Search now, did click that top one-the wiki-steal traffic-pedias; Hammer was part of Death Row Records and was in Vegas on that ominous night.

So give the man his respect!

CTRL+F, "Hammer" (time) but also "Jonah Hill"?! Citation/video evidence needed!

This generation is making its hardest attempt to combine the definition of deaf and stupid.

This generation is making its hardest attempt to combine the definition of deaf and stupid.

If that were said about ten years ago, then your statement would be true

They already ARE deaf and stupid...

[Blitzkommando]

I do believe there was a remark some years ago which relates to this subject even though it would have not even been a concept at the time the remark was created. I'm not certain of the exact wording but it goes something like this,

"Better to keep ones mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."

Sure it's not quite a perfect analogy, but I do believe it is similar in concept in that being the loudest is rarely the wisest action to take.

Also, "THUMPA THUMPA THUMPA" is definitely a blight on society today.

Hahaha.
My friend and I roadtripped to a wedding this weekend, and on our way out of town heading back home we rolled our windows down and blared "Barbie Girl" at volume 11.

The guy and the girl that we passed in their small two-door stared at us like we were crazy.

/not wrong either

My thing with that is, what reason is there to ever have your music so loud? The only thing I can think of is attention whoring. I can understand tuning people out, but when everyone and their momma can hear you from a street or two away, you're just being a nuisance.
