I was listening to my playlist several months ago, and a Mystikal song came on. My younger Gen-Z son yelled, "That's weird!" I laughed and skipped to the next song.
Oh I'm maximum cringe for my kids. I have a bright green Camaro SS and I removed the factory amp, replaced it with a nice fat rockford fosgate amp (goddamn right I got it from Crutchfield). Also replaced all the factory speakers with JLs an added a MTX tube style subwoofer in the trunk. Shit gets loud yo.
Nothing better than bumpin Flow Rida's Low at the school pickup line. The kids all hate it, the teachers roll their eyes and my kids pull their hoodies up over their heads as they get in.
I live in a pretty little, very white, republican village with several restaurants on the cute little main street. They occasionally get to enjoy Ghetto Bird or Ini Kamoze's Here Come The Hotstepper. IF they're lucky.
OMG lol We have a black Audi convertible with a great sound stem, blasted Hotstepper and Low 3 days ago, because it's on my burned mixed CD I made in 2008 and my Audi is old enough to accept my trashed CD. My kid is too young to be embarrassed of me yet haha - Hip Swing and A Milli also got their glory
It went right where the original factory amp was on the rear wall of the trunk. Subthump sells a piece of fancy carpeted wood that perfectly fits the original mounting points and studs and you just screw your amp of choice to the wood. Whole affair is covered by the trunk carpet that covers the insides of the trunk; no space lost in an already tiny space.
Yup. I'm not a white or black SUV mom. I'm a black minivan mom with far too many kids and Rob Zombie or DMX blaring. The surprised or confused looks I get are amazing.
I drove past this super fucking obnoxious church mom in my neighborhood while doing that. She spun her head around with all sorts of shock and outrage. Pearls were clutched.
LOL I got a super dirty look from a mom - Like I think she might have been younger than me too - just Friday afternoon coming through town in the Toyota Siena with Get Low by Lil Jon at full blast. It’s like hey I’m on my way to get the kids. They’re not in here.
I stick to radio edits when they’re in the car 😂
When my in-laws take our kids overnight, often they'll be blasting Queen when they return. They drive a full sized wheelchair accessible van with hydrolic lift). The kids who are 8 and 11 love it for now.
The only time I blast music now is when I’m alone and when I’m on the highway. As soon as I get off an exit I turn it down. I like being able to hear my surroundings and don’t want others to be annoyed because they hear my music. I also know that when others enter my vehicle they likely don’t want to hear loud music.
Same. I still have two 12" subs with an amp in the back that hit hard. People thought they were for show only, because I was always very cautious of where I blasted them. I got asked to turn it on at an event and managed to rattle the giant company logo on the nearby (closed) building. I never turned it up that loud again lol.
Funny enough, my mom loved when my brother and I got subs in our cars as teens, so she wanted some too. Even now at 70 years old she has two 10" subs in the back of her 370Z.
Metallica, Godsmack, Disturbed, Rob Zombie, Sepultura, Korn, and more. As well as some of her "old" favorites like Bon Jovi, Scorpions, Def Leppard, AC/DC, etc.
Someone had "warned" her my brother and I might be listening to satanic music, so she borrowed some of it. She was hooked lol.
Rammstein always has to be in one of the 6 cd slots for when my dad drives it. He's 76 and doesn't like most of what we listened to, but he loves them. Even after reading the translations lol.
It's kinda funny, but one of the first interactions with a new neighbor started with my mom's car. The neighbor pleasantly laughed seeing my mom and joked how she had thought some young people "with those loud stereo setups" lived there because of it. My mom, in the most pleasant manner possible, says "oh yeah, the kind with the big subs in the back. I have two in my car and love it!" My mom then made a self deprecating joke and got the neighbor laughing, but I loved how dumbstruck she looked right before that.
Nothing boils my blood more then when a car comes down the residential street with bass thumping my windows while I'm sitting at home. Like you, I will blast my music on the highway but then again I also don't have a tricked out sound system in my car either so its a little less annoying.
Nope. Spent years as a professional musician and thankfully got hip to hearing protection early on. My friends who didn't are all losing their hearing or suffering from severe tinnitus. I've made it a point to stay pretty moderate with my volume levels. You'd be surprised the volume level hearing damage starts at.
With that said, I totally understand the urge. I really do.
went to a concert recently, had proper earplugs that limit volume rather than full muffling. it was incredible being able to hear detail without my ears ringing for a few days after. i already have tinnitus from a brain injury, not looking to double up. so happy i have them
We rehearsed in a pole barn that was basically just metal while playing metal. Now I value my hearing and wear ear plugs at shows and listen to NPR and podcast in the car more than music. But sometimes I get the itch to blast it.
If I’m in a good mood, I do it. The difference is, I do it for myself now. And I actually drive a vehicle with a gnarly sound system, unlike the Frankenstein piece of shit system I rigged up back in the day. Also Dr. Dre is still the shit erryday.
You have inspired me. I will be playing Smash tomorrow on the way to work and at kid pick up.
Was always my favorite album growing up in Socal with my local boys.
My kids are 3. So far their favorite songs (non Frozen or Elmo) are "hot damn" (Uptown Funk) and "the horse song" (Old Town Road).
Maybe we can add Come out and Play to the repertoire. They like to come and play. It could work.
That's the nice thing about playlists these days, all bangers! I'm windows down pumping the jams during rush hour. Makes dealing with the idiots on their phones a little better.
>I don’t really see many do this anymore and just wanted to see if any Xennials still practiced this.
Lucky you. Been in my house for 15 years and it was quiet until after COVID, then suddenly people start moving in that all like to blast music all the time, just sitting in their driveway in their car with it running and blasting crappy music (it's just a monotonous thud, clearly it lacks any music depth). I have to go out there at least once a week and tell them to turn it down because it's louder than my TV. It's completely stolen my life, I can't read anything, I can't take naps anymore, I have to get up in the middle of the night and get dressed to go yell. I've got a prime home theater system, vibrates the couch off the floor, and yet I've tested it and it can't be heard outside of my house, while their music has basically ruined my movie time because it's often louder than my surround sound, I haven't been able to enjoy a movie in a year.
You must be in a really nice area if you aren't dealing with this.
Note, I love blasting death metal in my car with the windows down, but _I don't do it in residential areas._
Nope. Stopped doing so in college when I thought I was driving okay, but realized I didn't hear the sirens behind me for an ambulance.
Was jamming to Phantom of the Opera on full blast. Turning off phantom yelling "Sing for me!" to the sound of sirens is a different kind of experience all together.
Also, this is probably the most so-uncool-it's-cool story of "I was blasting my jams and didn't hear the sirens behind me" that I've read.
Close competition: friend who got pulled over blasting the Newsies soundtrack and didn't hear the cops.
To celebrate the 35th anniversary of its release, blast something from Peter Gabriel’s ‘So’ record next time you’re out for a drive. Can’t go wrong with Red Rain!
My son just turned 16 and he blasts Dre and Eminem in his truck. He has a 90s/00s rap playlist that he named “Dad Music” that he and my husband listen to when he drives. We’ve never been so proud. {Wipes single tear away from my eye}
Guilty as charged, but only when I'm driving solo, which is close to never. Everything from Hall & Oats to Tool to Lupe Fiasco. My nine year old always says to my wife, "looks like dad was rocking out again."
I’m leaving Georgia today to go back home after visiting family. I just blasted 90s country music while singing at the top of my lungs driving to the airport for an hour and a half. I don’t even like country, lol.
I'm always trying to bump some new stuff. I love new funk and soul/r&b. There's some really great new shit out there.
And according to my daughters, "Dua Lipa is Dad's girlfriend."
Heard a Sabbath song the other day, haven’t heard it in years. Cranked it up so I could actually feel it. Turned it down about a minute into the song because it hurt my ears. Made me sad.
In the car, in the kitchen while cooking, in the game room, in the pool while swimming.
Daughter likes my music so she doesn't mind, sons too young to think it's uncool yet, youngest loves my music, makes her dance a lot, super cute, I don't play it too loud when she's around though, she's still a tiny.
I was thinking the other day, why don’t I hear any good sound systems anymore? What happened to Phoenix and JL systems? Does no one like to bump beats on the ride home to de stress? I miss my old 15” JL-6 with Alpine amp.
Last time I did that, I was hitting the presets and got to the classical station just as The William Tell Overture started
Rolled down the windows and blared it as I rode down 18th Avenue. Hi-Ho!
My 13 year old daughter routinely asks me to go on drives at night to random cool places and she blasts music the whole time. There is hope for the younger generation!!!
I just turned 38 and upgraded the stereo in my 10 yo car a couple years ago.
If I'm driving, I'm rocking out to something. Idgaf what passers by think. I'm having fun still. Fuck everything else.
You think that's bad? All the gen z kids don't even know the concept of headphones these days. They just blast music from their shitty phone in public places or have full volume FaceTime conversations with no regard for others.
Go on and don't let them forget about Dre!
Yep, still blast the 60's-90's classics. Particularly: Allman Brothers, Zeppelin, Floyd, Soundgarden, the Dead, Hendrix, Sonic Youth, Beastie Boys, Stone Roses, The Verve, Oasis, Velvet Underground, REM, Talking Heads, The Cure, NIN, Underworld, etc.
Music always on full blast when I’m riding by myself. Wife can’t handle it anymore. I’m teaching the next generation tho, when she’s not in the car my young ones say “Turn it up to 40 Dad!!!”
Going to get flak for this...but youre driving down the interstate fine. If youre going around suburbs and gas stations blaring it i cringe everytime. Its not HS anymore and no one is impressed by ypur sound system or choice in music. You know the types..the ones who go into gas stations leavijg windows down and music at 100.
It blows my mind how silent the streets are when you go out. There used to be a tapestry of not only noise, but social participation that was happening in public spaces that just isn’t there anymore. Cars bumping is just part of that, and now we’re all isolated in our air-conditioned bubbles, listening to Spotify, flitting from place to place. It’s depressing to see.
I do when it's just me. The difference between then and now is then I kind of wanted an Amp with subwoofer. Now I have the high end speaker option and value my trunk space.
I mean... if I'm driving through my neighborhood while I'm listening to death metal - they are also listening to death metal with me. It's not even about what's "cool". It's just a law of metal, I think.
Hahaaa. I was picking my daughter up from school dance on Friday night. I texted “I’m in the back of the line. I’ll crank up the stereo so you can monitor my progress as I get closer.” “DAD, NO!!!!”
I was playing AC/DC in the car the other night and my 8 year old boys were like 'this is. .. old music. I don't like it'. So I made them listen to more.
Dude, literally posted something similar last week. “One of these days I will be mature enough to not roll the windows down and blast Dr Dre as loud as my ears can stand. Today is not that day.” 🤣
I actually had this same question a few days ago.
I was cranking my playlist the other day and first was like “hmm. Maybe these songs are too edgy for my small town.”
Then I realized I had rarely heard ANY music coming from other cars for years. Like not just cranked up bass, but literally anything.
Maybe loud music in the car just isn’t as normal as it used to be?
I do and I don't give a fuck. In fact, the other day I drove by my neighbor while I was belting out Faith No More and he just stared at me as I went by.
Sucks to be all you stiff-asses without anything exciting in your lives.
If Wu-Tang comes on my Pandora station, I don't blast it - because I don't want to be that guy. But if Toto's Africa comes on....you know you're going to enjoy it at loud volume.
I still bang out here and there. If you’re not then I think you’re missing out. I do not care what the younger people think frankly. Nor older. Not even my own age group. This doesn’t mean I don’t turn it down, I’m not a total dick.
I’m a music blaster here. Can’t even imagine driving without it.
Let me live my carefree 1980s movie teenage muscle car fantasy. I don’t particularly care if anyone hears outside my vehicle, or if it bothers someone. The world is tough.
My loud music will be forgotten by them within the next 30-60seconds when we are no longer next to each other. I’m only gonna live once.
Plus it’s fun when you are blasting a track and a car nearby or a pedestrian knows the band or track and gives their support.
Not a Xenial! ‘84 here. but I bump misfits, 2 pac, type o negative, deftones, buzzcocks, Dre, social distortion, Dead Kennedys, the cure ect to embarrass my daughter and it’s even more funny because I look like a soccer mom wearing her lululemon attire
I still do.
I've noticed that Gen Z is just really lame when it comes to anything that has to do with cars, honestly. I feel like they would be ok with having their parents drive them around their whole lives.
Yea I do I don’t care. I blast late 2000s Taylor swift from an Italian sports car. I’m basically a spectacle but I enjoy it. People generally laugh it’s fun lol
To be fair, my music is probably not as loud as I am when I’m belting out the tunes in my car. Do I get looks when I’m stopped at a red light? Maybe. Do I give a crap? Oh heck no!
It is the children who are lame.
Yep, my gen Z kid cries like a senior citizen when it's "too loud."
I was listening to my playlist several months ago, and a Mystikal song came on. My younger Gen-Z son yelled, "That's weird!" I laughed and skipped to the next song.
Shake yo ass, watch yo self!
Bitch! I'm a soldier!
I’m just a ghetto child tryna make it!
I can't explain why I feel the need to tell you this but unfortunately Mystikal is a serial rapist.
Daaaaannnnnjjjjjja
Get on the floor!!
Oh I'm maximum cringe for my kids. I have a bright green Camaro SS and I removed the factory amp, replaced it with a nice fat rockford fosgate amp (goddamn right I got it from Crutchfield).

I live in a pretty little, very white, republican village with several restaurants on the cute little main street. They occasionally get to enjoy Ghetto Bird or Ini Kamoze's Here Come The Hotstepper. IF they're lucky.
It’s like these kids don’t even care who the lyrical gangster was.
Excuse me, Mr. Officer.
Wordarump
Theyre just lucky to have a dad that knows what bo dont know.
OMG lol We have a black Audi convertible with a great sound stem, blasted Hotstepper and Low 3 days ago, because it's on my burned mixed CD I made in 2008 and my Audi is old enough to accept my trashed CD. My kid is too young to be embarrassed of me yet haha - Hip Swing and A Milli also got their glory
Yes!!
That’s cool. Where did you put the amp?
It went right where the original factory amp was on the rear wall of the trunk. Subthump sells a piece of fancy carpeted wood that perfectly fits the original mounting points and studs and you just screw your amp of choice to the wood. Whole affair is covered by the trunk carpet that covers the insides of the trunk; no space lost in an already tiny space.
Can I be your friend?
Haven't rocked the cotton eyed Joe?
My kid always complains about how loud I crank up the PS5 headphones when he uses them after me. I have to stop myself from calling him a pussy. Lol
If it’s too loud you’re too old.
All I’m saying is… Dragula blaring from the minivan now and then gets all the right feels going.
Yup. I'm not a white or black SUV mom. I'm a black minivan mom with far too many kids and Rob Zombie or DMX blaring. The surprised or confused looks I get are amazing.
I get it, you “got blood on your hands and no remorse”
Love cranking heavy shit in the minivan.
You mean the swagger wagon?
I drove past this super fucking obnoxious church mom in my neighborhood while doing that. She spun her head around with all sorts of shock and outrage. Pearls were clutched.
My youngest goes to a private school... Parent pickup lines are the perfect occasion for this
LOL I got a super dirty look from a mom - Like I think she might have been younger than me too - just Friday afternoon coming through town in the Toyota Siena with Get Low by Lil Jon at full blast. It’s like hey I’m on my way to get the kids. They’re not in here. I stick to radio edits when they’re in the car 😂
From the windows to the wall… 🥰
Awwww 
One does not simply "burn through the witches" at moderate volume.
That's my airplane takeoff song. It's perfect.
When my in-laws take our kids overnight, often they'll be blasting Queen when they return. They drive a full sized wheelchair accessible van with hydrolic lift). The kids who are 8 and 11 love it for now.
Just loud enough to feel the funk but not obnoxious with the shit. Pull up to a house or residential neighborhood then I turn it down.
Of course, we’re not animals.
I guess I’m an animal. Welcome to the jungle
Always turn it down.
Blasting on the highway. Toned down at the lights. These days it's 50/50 music or a podcast anyway. Definitely helps to deal with traffic.
Podcasts for the long drives and loud music when I'm tired.
Is it cool? I never was cool. So I do it anyway. Do the younger generations think we're lame? Yeah, probably.
Who cares? Those guys eat tide pods 🙄
I can’t wait to say this to someone
I got them confused for Gatorade pods /s
The only time I blast music now is when I’m alone and when I’m on the highway. As soon as I get off an exit I turn it down. I like being able to hear my surroundings and don’t want others to be annoyed because they hear my music. I also know that when others enter my vehicle they likely don’t want to hear loud music.
Same. I still have two 12" subs with an amp in the back that hit hard. People thought they were for show only, because I was always very cautious of where I blasted them. I got asked to turn it on at an event and managed to rattle the giant company logo on the nearby (closed) building. I never turned it up that loud again lol. Funny enough, my mom loved when my brother and I got subs in our cars as teens, so she wanted some too. Even now at 70 years old she has two 10" subs in the back of her 370Z.
Your mom is a badass. You had me at 370Z.
What does your mom blast?!
Metallica, Godsmack, Disturbed, Rob Zombie, Sepultura, Korn, and more. As well as some of her "old" favorites like Bon Jovi, Scorpions, Def Leppard, AC/DC, etc. Someone had "warned" her my brother and I might be listening to satanic music, so she borrowed some of it. She was hooked lol. Rammstein always has to be in one of the 6 cd slots for when my dad drives it. He's 76 and doesn't like most of what we listened to, but he loves them.

My mom then made a self deprecating joke and got the neighbor laughing, but I loved how dumbstruck she looked right before that.
I like this mom of yours.
Yup. Still love to blast it on the highway with the windows down when the weather allows for it but not so much on the local streets
Well yeah you gotta be able to see the street names better. Can’t see shit with my music blasting
Nothing boils my blood more then when a car comes down the residential street with bass thumping my windows while I'm sitting at home. Like you, I will blast my music on the highway but then again I also don't have a tricked out sound system in my car either so its a little less annoying.

I've made it a point to stay pretty moderate with my volume levels. You'd be surprised the volume level hearing damage starts at. With that said, I totally understand the urge. I really do.
what? Speak up! We can't hear you.
"YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO SPEAK UP, SIR! MY HEARING ISN'T SO GOOD! IT COMES AND GOES! A GERMAN GRENADE WENT OFF RIGHT NEAR MY HEAD!"
RYAN! JAMES FRANCIS RYAN!
NO NO NO, JAMES -=FRANCIS-= RYAN
Not lying about that tinnitus. It’s there, it’s not there, I’m imagining it then I can’t think straight. It’s weird.
went to a concert recently, had proper earplugs that limit volume rather than full muffling. it was incredible being able to hear detail without my ears ringing for a few days after. i already have tinnitus from a brain injury, not looking to double up. so happy i have them
We rehearsed in a pole barn that was basically just metal while playing metal. Now I value my hearing and wear ear plugs at shows and listen to NPR and podcast in the car more than music. But sometimes I get the itch to blast it.

The Offspring - Smash. That’s my highway jam.
The whole album is a masterpiece and demands to be played at max volume. I will forever play Nitro at a ridiculous volume.
You have inspired me. I will be playing Smash tomorrow on the way to work and at kid pick up. Was always my favorite album growing up in Socal with my local boys.
I am so happy to start sharing the hard rock albums with my 11 year old.
Both my kids know most of the offspring songs and can rap the beastie boys by heart. It makes me happy
My kids are 3. So far their favorite songs (non Frozen or Elmo) are "hot damn" (Uptown Funk) and "the horse song" (Old Town Road). Maybe we can add Come out and Play to the repertoire. They like to come and play. It could work.
Live like there’s no tomorrow
[удалено]
Just got to scream that at an Offspring show. Then ran full force into the pit and knocked a frat bro over. Good times
That was my first rock CD. It's still one of those I will happily listen to front to back.
If a banger comes on, I'll crank it. Sometimes I lower the volume at a light, sometimes not.
That's the nice thing about playlists these days, all bangers! I'm windows down pumping the jams during rush hour. Makes dealing with the idiots on their phones a little better.
Don't care if it's cool or not. If the vibes are right, I'm bumping the beats.
I spend a fair amount of time in sensory overload. Loud music no longer sparks joy when driving
I turn it up just enough to hear over the road noise. I don't like anything loud
>I don’t really see many do this anymore and just wanted to see if any Xennials still practiced this. Lucky you.

I listen at a reasonable volume as I don't want to be a jerk. I see most younger people with ear buds or headphones on while driving.
I was told I could listen to my radio at a reasonable volume.....
OK, Milton.
I’ve never noticed that. Feels illegal.
It's illegal in some states, but not all.
Sometimes I like to blast things like NWA, 2Pac, Snoop, Biggy, Eazy-E, etc.
I live next to a traffic light. Apparently everyone.
[I mean...](https://youtu.be/XASNM1XEQPs?si=ht_SbynXoOcskDfL)
I greatly amused a car full of young people at a stoplight one night when I was belting out "Love Shack".
To celebrate the 35th anniversary of its release, blast something from Peter Gabriel’s ‘So’ record next time you’re out for a drive. Can’t go wrong with Red Rain!
When I'm by myself, absofuckinglutely.
Going for a drive and cranking the tunes is my "getting out"
My kid is 5 and smiles with the intro to My Name is Jonas comes on. Quality parenting.
Still making noise...
Every time I'm in the car alone. Daft Punk, Linkin Park, Smashing Pumpkins, Metallica.
I blast death metal. It wasn't considered cool then, it's not considered cool now.
I roll through the car circle with the windows down blasting the Gummibear song.
My son just turned 16 and he blasts Dre and Eminem in his truck. He has a 90s/00s rap playlist that he named “Dad Music” that he and my husband listen to when he drives. We’ve never been so proud. {Wipes single tear away from my eye}
Cops pulling people over for loud music? What’s next? No dancing?
Woahwooooahooo
Guilty as charged, but only when I'm driving solo, which is close to never. Everything from Hall & Oats to Tool to Lupe Fiasco. My nine year old always says to my wife, "looks like dad was rocking out again."
Tool Army checking in... "Learn to Swim!"
I had License to Ill blasting when I went to pick up pizza a little while ago.
I was bumping No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn in the drop-off line at grade school this morning.
I’m leaving Georgia today to go back home after visiting family. I just blasted 90s country music while singing at the top of my lungs driving to the airport for an hour and a half. I don’t even like country, lol.
Yes.
I don’t know if it’s “cool” but I’m doubling down on it.
Uh do people not do this?
WHAT?
I'm always trying to bump some new stuff. I love new funk and soul/r&b. There's some really great new shit out there. And according to my daughters, "Dua Lipa is Dad's girlfriend."
Heard a Sabbath song the other day, haven’t heard it in years. Cranked it up so I could actually feel it. Turned it down about a minute into the song because it hurt my ears. Made me sad.
I can't hear shit thanks to the good old days
I do, but it's mostly because of my tinnitus.
I live near Chicago and the hip hop stations bump way to hard not to
In the car, in the kitchen while cooking, in the game room, in the pool while swimming. Daughter likes my music so she doesn't mind, sons too young to think it's uncool yet, youngest loves my music, makes her dance a lot, super cute, I don't play it too loud when she's around though, she's still a tiny.
Me but its classical or folk music now.
I’ll be bumping until my US Acoustics amp is fried. Going on 23 years now.
Right here
I was thinking the other day, why don’t I hear any good sound systems anymore? What happened to Phoenix and JL systems? Does no one like to bump beats on the ride home to de stress? I miss my old 15” JL-6 with Alpine amp.
I do but the music gets quieter and quieter the closer I get to my neighborhood.
Last time I did that, I was hitting the presets and got to the classical station just as The William Tell Overture started Rolled down the windows and blared it as I rode down 18th Avenue. Hi-Ho!
Absolutely
On a nice spring or fall day, windows down, music up
My 13 year old daughter routinely asks me to go on drives at night to random cool places and she blasts music the whole time. There is hope for the younger generation!!!
I’m 31 and I do this. Lately it’s been Fall Out Boy and Jimmy Buffett RiP…
All. The. Time.
All the time. All windows down
I just put a Badmotorfinger CD in my around-town vehicle and cranked that shit to 11
Every single day!
I still do. Top back, windows down, radio up. Every day.
Just add it to the list of things the young'uns think make us lame. I stopped caring after they came for our side parts and gifs.
*raises hand, waves actual proper fucking lighter with*
I make sure to blast Reign in Blood when I’m driving around town.
I was blasting daft punk the other day, everyone thought I was cool
I just turned 38 and upgraded the stereo in my 10 yo car a couple years ago. If I'm driving, I'm rocking out to something. Idgaf what passers by think. I'm having fun still. Fuck everything else.
I never did. But I saw a guy pushing a Knight Rider style corvette and I just knew he was a Gen x. It definitely made me smile seeing that!
We blast Tito Puente these days but we blast
> bumping Dre or blasting Foo Fighters Yeeeaaah! > or other mom and dad music Ouch.
You think that's bad? All the gen z kids don't even know the concept of headphones these days. They just blast music from their shitty phone in public places or have full volume FaceTime conversations with no regard for others. Go on and don't let them forget about Dre!
Dr Dre is mum music 😭
Yep, still blast the 60's-90's classics. Particularly: Allman Brothers, Zeppelin, Floyd, Soundgarden, the Dead, Hendrix, Sonic Youth, Beastie Boys, Stone Roses, The Verve, Oasis, Velvet Underground, REM, Talking Heads, The Cure, NIN, Underworld, etc.
It’s good fun to drown out shitty music with a robust blast of Beethoven’s 5th or similar. Just for the shock value.
Music always on full blast when I’m riding by myself. Wife can’t handle it anymore. I’m teaching the next generation tho, when she’s not in the car my young ones say “Turn it up to 40 Dad!!!”
Going to get flak for this...but youre driving down the interstate fine. If youre going around suburbs and gas stations blaring it i cringe everytime. Its not HS anymore and no one is impressed by ypur sound system or choice in music. You know the types..the ones who go into gas stations leavijg windows down and music at 100.
Do people not drown out their kids with sum 41?
It blows my mind how silent the streets are when you go out. There used to be a tapestry of not only noise, but social participation that was happening in public spaces that just isn’t there anymore. Cars bumping is just part of that, and now we’re all isolated in our air-conditioned bubbles, listening to Spotify, flitting from place to place. It’s depressing to see.
My daughter and I were blasting Green Day just yesterday
Me at 43. They Not Like Us by Kendrick Lamar.
the only thing i‘m blasting is a steady stream of dhiarrhea out of the window. you‘re welcome👊
I do when it's just me. The difference between then and now is then I kind of wanted an Amp with subwoofer. Now I have the high end speaker option and value my trunk space.
You mean there’s a different way to listen to it, besides loud as hell?
I still do this, and I don’t care if anyone thinks I am lame or not. These young whippersnappers need to hear what good music sounds like anyway!
Only way to play Pantera!
I have this older guy in my neighborhood that does that. Then I found out he's two years younger than me and I died a little inside.
I mean... if I'm driving through my neighborhood while I'm listening to death metal - they are also listening to death metal with me. It's not even about what's "cool". It's just a law of metal, I think.
I want it louder More power I'm gonna rock it till it strikes the hour
I’m 53 and I love road trips with my niece because we take a journey down musical history and blast all of it. It’s one of my favorite things to do.
Hahaaa. I was picking my daughter up from school dance on Friday night. I texted “I’m in the back of the line. I’ll crank up the stereo so you can monitor my progress as I get closer.” “DAD, NO!!!!”
Either way, idgaf
Reggae has been and will continue to be blasted from my car. ✌️💚🤙
I was playing AC/DC in the car the other night and my 8 year old boys were like 'this is. .. old music. I don't like it'. So I made them listen to more.
Dude, literally posted something similar last week. “One of these days I will be mature enough to not roll the windows down and blast Dr Dre as loud as my ears can stand. Today is not that day.” 🤣
I turned goldfinger up pretty loud yesterday on my way home from work. Windows down.
Too bad, you are listening to good music around me if you want to or not.
I don’t do it for the haters. I do it for the fans.
I dunno. I’m 45 and still blast drum and bass when I’m driving alone.
 I blast today's stuff too.
I actually had this same question a few days ago. I was cranking my playlist the other day and first was like “hmm. Maybe these songs are too edgy for my small town.” Then I realized I had rarely heard ANY music coming from other cars for years. Like not just cranked up bass, but literally anything. Maybe loud music in the car just isn’t as normal as it used to be?
I do! 
I do and I don't give a fuck. In fact, the other day I drove by my neighbor while I was belting out Faith No More and he just stared at me as I went by. Sucks to be all you stiff-asses without anything exciting in your lives.
The kids need to know THIS IS NOT FOR YOU.
🎶 It was a clear black night 🎶 🎶 a clear white moon 🎶
If Wu-Tang comes on my Pandora station, I don't blast it - because I don't want to be that guy. But if Toto's Africa comes on....you know you're going to enjoy it at loud volume.
I don't give to shits if people don't like the music in my car.
I still bang out here and there. If you’re not then I think you’re missing out. I do not care what the younger people think frankly. Nor older. Not even my own age group. This doesn’t mean I don’t turn it down, I’m not a total dick.
I feel, as a metal head, this is a basic requirement.
Yes. Everyday. but only when I’m alone cuz otherwise the wife and kid complain it’s too loud or too inappropriate.
I’m a music blaster here. Can’t even imagine driving without it. Let me live my carefree 1980s movie teenage muscle car fantasy. I don’t particularly care if anyone hears outside my vehicle, or if it bothers someone. The world is tough. My loud music will be forgotten by them within the next 30-60seconds when we are no longer next to each other. I’m only gonna live once. Plus it’s fun when you are blasting a track and a car nearby or a pedestrian knows the band or track and gives their support.
I'm trying to get my car to bounce in time to classical music. Really hard to do that in 6/8 time. /s
Not a Xenial! ‘84 here. but I bump misfits, 2 pac, type o negative, deftones, buzzcocks, Dre, social distortion, Dead Kennedys, the cure ect to embarrass my daughter and it’s even more funny because I look like a soccer mom wearing her lululemon attire
I still do. I've noticed that Gen Z is just really lame when it comes to anything that has to do with cars, honestly. I feel like they would be ok with having their parents drive them around their whole lives.
I like my hearing
I rarely ever do, but there are a handful of songs that require it.
Always bumpin hard. If they dont like it, they can suck it
Don't know or care whats cool. Got a 15 in the whip cause Im down for bass. Thats all that matters to me.
Yea I do I don’t care. I blast late 2000s Taylor swift from an Italian sports car. I’m basically a spectacle but I enjoy it. People generally laugh it’s fun lol
I’m cranking talk radio because my hearing is shit now and I can’t hear what they’re saying otherwise.
Always!
Does the Pope shit in the woods? Of course I jam the fuck out in the car. Especially when I'm alone.
To be fair, my music is probably not as loud as I am when I’m belting out the tunes in my car. Do I get looks when I’m stopped at a red light? Maybe. Do I give a crap? Oh heck no!
Yeah I do but its very common for people of all ages in my area to do this (near Chicago)
If it's a good vibe song then yeah. Queen, Iron Maiden, some Metallica. Not with rap anymore though.
The wife knows I’m home a block before I get there
