From Lullaby by Palahniuk:
"People who would never throw litter from their car will drive past you with their radio blaring. People who’d never blow cigar smoke at you in a crowded restaurant will bellow into their cell phone. They’ll shout at each other across the space of a dinner plate.
These people who would never spray herbicides or insecticides will fog the neighborhood with their stereo playing Scottish bagpipe music. Chinese opera. Country and western.
Outdoors, a bird singing is fine. Patsy Cline is not.
Outdoors, the din of traffic is bad enough. Adding Chopin’s Piano Concerto in E Minor is not making the situation any better.
You turn up your music to hide the noise. Other people turn up their music to hide yours. You turn up yours again. Everyone buys a bigger stereo system. This is the arms race of sound. You don’t win with a lot of treble.
This isn’t about quality. It’s about volume.
This isn’t about music. This is about winning.
You stomp the competition with the bass line. You rattle windows. You drop the melody line and shout the lyrics. You put in foul language and come down hard on each cussword.
You dominate.
This is really about power."
Disagree. Nobody wants to hear you shouting from the treetops about how you want sex, a-hole. Fuck birds.
How do you decide when to censor yourself or not?
I wasn't censoring myself, I was speaking casually. I'd have said asshole if I were going for a more formal vibe
its not that deep I just like my music loud and to feel the bass
The above piece isn't trying to give a deep reason for your actions: that would be ridiculous. You have proved that true with your post.
What the post is trying to convey is how other people feel about your selfish "it feel good to me (sic)" invading their space and awareness.
Be a better one person than this. Do you realize how much noise pollution negatively affects the most vulnerable in our communities the most?
I absolutely understand listening to music loud: it can sound better. I use headphones while at home that ensure I can listen as loud as I like, WITHOUT BOTHERING ANOTHER FUCKING BEING.
Try to to process the actual content here, and find a way to enjoy your shit without annoying others.
The people around you don’t.
That was a cool book, been a long time
