That's probably a large part of it.Rap music is to blame.....ban rap music, it all ***** anyway
A large part of it, especially the newer stuff, isn't really expression. It's all about having people write stupid lyrics for you and getting a bunch of money. Rap is almost dead, except for the few out there that are being original.Yea, let's ban artistic expression that doesn't appeal to one's sensibilities, instead of just turning down the volume and becoming conscious of others. Brilliant!
While there are a LOT of people on this forum recently just going for the bass route, IMO if someone takes the time to hit 150db they've put some effort in the front stage.People brag about 150db in their DD... which is just retarded. There's no need for that, ever. Odds are it isn't proper to sound imaging. It probably is just BASS-BASS-BASS then in the midst of no bass, you can hear maybe 2, or 3 words from the song. I'm sorry. I don't want to pay thousands upon thousands of dollars not to be able to HEAR my music.
X2... in otherwords, if your a neighborhood... turn it down, or atleast turn the bass down... it is quite annoying when at 4 in mornin i hear some1 wangin in front of my house...While there are a LOT of people on this forum recently just going for the bass route, IMO if someone takes the time to hit 150db they've put some effort in the front stage.
With my last really loud system (148-150 on music, 151-152 burping) you could still hear the highs well. Would you still say that's retarded? No, it's no more retarded than your system. It just had the ability to be way louder. The problem with these types of systems is few have the self control, maturity, and respect to properly use them.
obnockious indeed!Yes indeed! It is quite interesting. It is always the few that screw it up for the many. While most of us have some common sense, there are those bass heads that pound at rediulous levels at crazy hours of the morning. I have heard my fair share. But what about the insane loudness of a harley riding down the road?? It can be very obnockious, but thats all fine and dandy! Pick your posion. Face it, some people just love to showboat. As for me, I want my system sounding good on the inside, not the outside. We all know that there are much bigger fish to fry in this world, some choose to fry the car audio world.
