Do older people hate you because of your system?

[zSnb 10+ year member]

If Im bumping while driving through a mall parking lot or something I get tons of nasty looks from old people. Today when I parked my car and got out some old fart had the nerve to tell me to keep my "fvcking" gangster rap to myself. I told him I dont listen to rap only techno. He looked at me like I just asked him the square root of something. Then he just hobbled away. I wasnt going to get all in his face about it or anything. Sometimes older people just dont understand because they grew up in times more simple when audio technology sucked. Oh well. Anything like this happen to you guys?

Okay - let's break this down bit by bit, shall we?

If Im bumping while driving through a mall parking lot or something

*sounds of brakes locking up* SCREECH! Stop right there.

That single statement is indicative of you being a part of the problem rather than a portion of the solution. The biggest reason that there is increasingly more constrictive legislation being suggested (and in some cases passed) regarding the use of aftermarket car audio by those of us who consider ourselves enthusiasts is from people like yourself who take no issue with being in a public venue where the average person there may not want to "share" your music yet you force them to anyway. Have a little respect and don't go bangin' through mall parking lots. Or school zones. Or residential areas. Or around hospitals. Or while sitting at the red light waiting for it to turn green. or... (begin to get the point?!?) next...

I get tons of nasty looks from old people.

As you should if you're being disrespectful.

Today when I parked my car and got out some old fart had the nerve to tell me to keep my "fvcking" gangster rap to myself.

I'd be willing to wager as he recounted this incident to his friends it likely started out with something along the lines of "Young whipper-snapper had the nerve to go blaring his music through the parking lot where anyone could hear it whether they wanted to or not."

I told him I dont listen to rap only techno. He looked at me like I just asked him the square root of something.

I'm fairly certain that he cared absolutely none about the distinction between musical genres //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Sometimes younger people just don't understand that it shows a complete lack of consideration forcing others to listen to their music whether such a display of audio ability was requested or not.

Think about it from the other side, dingbat ~ consider the fact that it is behavior (and thinking patterns) exactly such as you've described that gets our hobby looked down upon by those who are in a position to enact (or at least successfully lobby for) laws restricting our enjoyment and imposing increasingly stringent penalties for said enjoyment happening....

Its all of these stupid ass punk kids that only want subs so everyone around can here them that give people bad impressions about stereo systems. DO US ALL A FAVOR, DONT BUMP IN PARKING LOTS, TURN IT DOWN AT STOP LIGHTS, AND PAY SOME FUCKING RESPECT TO THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THIS WORLD.

Have a nice day

My closest friends are all 50 or older and they have no problem with my system and actually enjoy it. Why? Because I'm not an *** and don't play my music loud when I'm coming or leaving from work. I also don't have it loud when I go over to their houses or places where we're meeting.

It's called respect and knowing when and where to have it loud. You will understand it one day when you mature. Until then, get used to the nasty looks and keep hoping nobody steals your stuff.

I'm older and like a loud system just as much as the younger kids here. But I like my system loud where it doesn't bother other people. I have retarded kids that drive through my neighborhood with the windows down and the stereo cranked, oh to be 16 and dumb again.

Your stereo can be as loud as you want aslong as it doesn't infringe on other people's rights. As soon as you infringe on others rights by annoying the shit out of people in their homes you become part of the problem.

As far as cranking your system at the mall, all your accomplishing is advertising your stuff to be stolen, thats your gig, carry on if it makes you happy. You will be annoying people as well, but atleast its a business and not a residential neighborhood.

ps...older people hate you for your stupidity, not your system //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Back when I use to have a system I was embarrased to turn it up. I guess I didnt like people hearing my music. Id only turn it up when I was real happy. LOL:yumyum:

^^^^ ^That pretty much sums up what I was going to say. and the fact that you started this thread shows a lack of intelligance on your part as well. Like everyone else has said SHOW SOME **** RESPECT in public!!!!

turn it down in parking lots, stop signs/red lights, school zones, etc.....

People like you are exactly why laws are getting more strict on our (most people on these boards atleast) hobby. The majority of people around here are not out to advertise their system/music to the general public. We invest in our hobby for OURSELVES.

Well, zSnb ~

I genuinely hope that you get the idea that your behavior (as recounted in the opening post for this thread) is generally seen as unacceptable by far more people than the elderly chap who saw fit to confront you about your irresponsible and inconsiderate actions.

Am I slamming you for owning a system? Absolutely not. I'm an enthusiast myself. Certainly I didn't purchase and install the stuff that basically makes my trunk useless as far as carrying groceries or luggage is concerned just for the heck of it...

Have a little respect and if you're somewhere that blaring your tunes full tilt isn't particularly appropriate then...well, there's a reason that your volume knob goes counterclockwise as well as clockwise //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Has absolutely nothing to do with respect. Driving around neighborhoods at night with the volume way up when people are trying to sleep is one thing. But if somebody is gonna throw a fit because they hear my music for 5 seconds while i drive by them then they must have some kind of anxiety problem. If i was some punk kid like you are trying to imply, then I probably woulda kept running my mouth maybe even cussed him out a bit. Even when the volume is cranked its barely noticeable from 20ft away. The techno I listen to has no cussing or harsh lyrics that one would consider offensive either. Im willing to bet that if i came by blaring oldies with my windows down nobody woulda gave a crap. My point is that alot of older people look at me like im some disturber of the peace when they hear my music just because it isnt their taste. I see people drive past me with volume turned way up on a regular basis. Would it be okay for me to go cuss them out because i dont agree with their taste? No i dont think so. I wouldnt let it ruin my day because i had to hear bad music for a few seconds.
