Poll: Does People Playing Music Loud In Public Annoy You?

[yoyo13rom]

Hell, yeah! Especially that the people how listen to loud music, listen to bad music(and I'm not talking about rock,or punk or anything related; I'm talking about the fricking cancer of my country: manele)

Here's an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BP_x7lRZ0oQ

 

[Romblen]

It's annoying. I got to a school where almost everybody loves country. Unfortunately for me, I hate country. People should just use headphone. I understand that the music I like is torture for others, so I use headphones.

 

[Chummychanga]

I absolutely can't stand it, if it's something done retardely. If you started playing Deathcab for a Cutie, or something else just relaxing and not overly pop or hip-hop, I'm fine. But I really don't like it if you blare metal or retarded rap near my house. I mean, it's a free country and all, but have atleast a smide of respect! :/

{No offence to any pop, hip-hop, metal, or rap fans. I listen to that stuff myself.}

 

[BigbadaBEEF]

it depends, if it's music i like then its fine, but the vast majority of the time it's utter crap and i instantly resent the people playing it

 

[SenseOfTumour]

I think I'm in the majority, that it's mainly young people in cars, with the windows down, just loitering and playing some horrible techno thing, with the bass up so high that all you can hear is rumbling and the car is visibly vibrating.

Secondly, groups of chavs on buses showing off their new ringtones thru their crappy mobile phone speakers. This mainly doesn't happen from metal fans, because we have respect for our choice of music and understand it needs a good player to sound right.

I'm also against excessive swearing in public, sure, occasionally you might get hurt or be seriously angered by something and let out a swift 'oh fuck', but when you're trapped on a bus journey with a group of people who use profanity like other people use punctuation, well, it gets old real fast.

 

[SenseOfTumour]

Anyone get the urge to slip a massive 80s style stereo out of their bag next time they're on the bus and the mobile phone posse start up their pussycat dolls remix session?

just slip it onto the shoulder, press play and .... MOZART , turned up to 11, totally drowning out their pointlessness.

thing is, you just know they'd complain...or just abuse you.

 

[GodofDisaster]

Yes I hate it, as I find it very annoying and rude. And it's always rap or dance music, that's playing in the background. I myself listen to music in public but I use headhones, to respect the people around me. Besides I'm pretty sure they have no interest in J-pop music screaming in their ears.

 

[StriderShinryu]

It doesn't always, but there are certainly occasions where it does bother me.

 

[Zildjin81]

Yes, very much.

Though people who don't use adverbs bother me just as much.

 

[GrinningManiac]

I don't generally experience it, so hey ho

What I DO hate, however, is that awful noise you get when you walk past a club or a car with a chav/ned/gangsta in it. You know that noise, that gulping Bass "OOM OOM OOM OOM" Dance music beat. You can't even here the other noises (not music, noise), just the bass

 

[War Penguin]

Not really. I usually just drown it out with my loud music on my headphones.

 

[Hurr Durr Derp]

I don't do it myself because I've got some pretty good headphones, but it doesn't particularly bother me when other people do it. The only time it does bother me if the music is close to my house at night when I'm trying to get some sleep, which unfortunately happens far too often in my neighborhood.

 

[Mana Fiend]

I've always wanted to go onto a bus and blast out some classical tunage. Maybe Valkyries... Or would anyone object to some Jack Johnson?

But OT: Yes, it's bloody annoying, especially as it's nearly always rubbish. Get headphones or get the hell away.

 

[Fingolfin High-King of the Noldor]

I don't really care. It's a lot better than people screaming for no god damned reason. I can ignore idiots pretty quickly.

 

[vodkainferno]

Depends, what kind of music?

 

[Deadlock Radium]

If it is Jonas Brothers, Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus or other mainstream crap, I'll go and punch that person in the face.
If it's rap or hiphop, I'll punch the person in the face.
If it's metal, jazz, classical or rock I'll high five the person.

That's it.

 

[Grabnaur]

A bunch of atention whores that what I think of them.

 

[YoUnG205]

depends on whether or not I like the music being played....

 

[Quiet Stranger]

No, they come and go just as fast so before you know it they're gone

 

[Wakefield]

I'm actually guilty of doing this. In my defense, I at least listen to music that's good.

You can't claim the music you listen to is good. Everyone has different tastes, of course you're going to think the music you listen to is good (otherwise why are you listening to it?) But not everyone will. It's still obnoxious.
