The same with this generation of boom box, bass-thumping rappers. Every car car a stop light with a kid thumping the bass gives me a giggle.
They will fare worse than rockers.
Man I cannot type today.
“Every car at a ...”
Frame one was a black guy, in the jungle somewhere. He had a enormous pot of water on his right shoulder, cradled with his right arm. He was obviously taking it from a river back to his village.
Frame two had the same guy, out in a cotton field with fellow slaves all bent over, chopping cotton. It looked hot and painful. But now the guy has a huge, heavy bale of cotton on his right shoulder.
Frame three once again had the same guy. He's strutting through the ghetto, sunglasses on, with a big smile on his face, prominent gold tooth displayed.
He was also carrying a boom box on his shoulder, AT LEAST as big as the bale of cotton in frame 2.
'nuff said !!
Years ago I told my Husband we should get in the designer hearing aid business with all these darn booming boxes and cars.
And while I'm at it.. I am so sick of hearing the F word, the N word and all the junk coming out of the car next to me in traffic! We are supposed to be civilized society for pete's sake.

A few days ago at an apartment complex in Eagan, MN, car alarms were going off in the parking garage. Kids in a “ricer” car with some awful subwoofer were making everything around vibrate. And that’s with the windows up!
My next door neighbor is just as bad, some evenings were painful - in addition to getting no sleep. Police here will do nothing. I finally got him to stop with some death metal, speakers facing the wall (I was wearing the hearing protection for that stunt).
BTW, just had a hearing test, still topping out at 22kHz - at 52 years. Then again I don’t usually get abuse with the decibels.
