- Capitalism has alienated us from collective experience in shared public spaces. Blasting loud music is an act of protest. A violent rebellion that creates a shared experience by force. A momentary slap in the face to wake you up and remind you that we are all connected and these places inherently belong to all of us, for us to use together in loud, chaotic, contradictory ways — not to be parceled up, individualized, isolated, and reduced to sheer utility value.
- Haha windows go brrr
Edit: I guess I needed a /s
Ah yes, triggering autistic people to own the state
So I don’t hear the increasingly worrying noises my car makes.
Almost didn’t hear my tire pop 30 min ago because of music. Should have turned it louder instead of stopping because now I have to deal with it
Edit: in case anyone was wondering… Strut snapped and popped three tires trying to get to a shop. Called a tow to tow ten min down the road for 100$ :^) love that for me
How do you have two extra spare tyres to use?
This guy lemmy’in while driving what a champ
I see we think alike. If you don’t notice a problem, there isn’t one.
You should install a fog machine. It could come in handy.
Two eye patches, ear plugs, might as well throw some ear plugs in your nose too.

Can’t pump up music at home, too many nosy neighbours
I like feeling my music as well as hearing it
It’s a cheap and easy thrill
Fun fact, loud bass sounds louder outside a car than inside. They’re literally trying to blow out their own ears but missing.
Uhhh. What?
My guess is theyre talking about the energy grom their speakers being wasted on mechanical energy vibrating the entire vehicle and structures in direct vicinity, vs more efficient speakers that focus the energy into sound waves that go straight up in the air where your ears can catch em
The subs will end up making the entire vehicle vibrate like one giant speaker?
Almost every explanation given in this comment section boils down to “I’m a selfish prick who only cares about what I’m doing in that moment. Fuck the lot of ya”
The way I do it is to sound good in the car. If you can even hear it at all with the doors closed that’s by accident not design. I don’t go nuts with 4 dual coil 18s in a civic hatchback either though so I’m probably not the best one to answer. 🤷
You can definitely hear it. You can hear someone on a voice call or talk radio pretty clearly just walking near them.
But this is really asking about the cars you can hear coming down the block that sounds like they’re trying to work out sore muscles with their subwoofers.
My vehicle is less aerodynamic than a cow, and wind noise is loud.
Because the soul is quiet, and it hides the flounder.
Same reason why you would fire a gun in confined space. It makes deaf fasters, so you don’t have to listen to the shit music you are forced to listen due to peer pressure.
Because it’s a fun hobby to build systems capable of doing that and seeing just how loud you can get them, granted my group is the only one in town that only uses them deep in agricultural fields so we dont burst people’s eardrums. Regarding people that use them in cities, especially at night, i am absolutely with you.
Long ago I built up car stereos. Mainly for fidelity, but that cane along with bass, not for bass or volume’s sake. But with the same behavior as you, I would never turn it up in a populated area, and it was in fact tuned for depth not volume.
I agree with OP, but not many of the negative replies. There is a time and place for all hobbies.

They have speakers that point outside the window… Yeah make sense with that.
“hey look free speakers!”
Love my loud music while zipping down a highway at 100+. Zoom, zoom.
Same reason children cry, they want attention.
They’re chasing that high and excitement that a rockstar feels when they blare music on stage. Sometimes at car shows or downtown parking lots they got tons of encouragement.
But I do feel you fr fr.
