Same for those taking bluetooth speakers or using their phone speakers into public parks blaring their shitty music. We would prefer to only listen to our shitty music at home or in the car not in the park where we can go to get a break from it.
The park? Try the grocery store or the train.
Bus stop.
To add onto that: If others can hear your crappy music booming out of your car, then you should get a ticket. If your exhaust sounds like a literal giant asshole blasting farts and is audible beyond 50 meters, you should get a ticket.
If you drive a big truck and jake brake in a residential neighborhood, believe it or not, straight to jail.
Cool. What concert at the tickets to? I love seeing loud bands play.
What concert at the tickets to?
Limp Bizkit Reunion Tour 2025
You joke, but I saw them earlier this year and they put on a good show...
Loserfest? I had tickets but sold them when it came out that Xaviur Wulf hit puppies and women and was kicked out of the tour then brought back
they put on a good show
I could see that. I just googled 'worst band ever' and Limp Bizkit was the first autocomplete result so that's what i went with lol.
Where was Nickleback on the list?
Not far down from Limp Bizkit, actually, and those are the only two results that mention a band at all lol.
Limp Bizkit wasn't that bad. Fred Durst was kind of a douche, but looking back at it I can't think of any specific thing he did besides wear a stupid looking hat backwards, and have a douche looking face. Their music was alright for the time.
If you're 20ish years old right now, I PROMISE you, some popular band or musician you like now will fall out of popularity. They'll be a product of their time. It's not going to be the mega chart toppers like Taylor Swift. But maybe one thats only been popular for less than 5 years.
20 years from now, you'll look back like "ooooooooh yeeeeaaaaah, I remember them! Wow. Hadn't thought about them in years....."
And the then current generation, who never grew up with them will be like "THEY'RE THE WORST MUSIC EVER!!! EWWWW STINKY STINKFACE!!!"
And you'll be like "What? They had a few good songs for their time.....I mean, they don't hold up today or anything, but it was alright if you were a teenager back then"
Listen to grandpa simpson. It'll happen to yyyooouuuuu!!!!
That'll be cool. I'll dress as Wes Borland
The world is too loud. And too bright. And it stinks as well. I've never understood it until I learned that I'm a bit on the autistic side of the spectrum. But for real. A lot of our modern pollutions are man made and could be so easily avoided.
Completely agree.
But the main culprit by far is fast cars or vehicles with loud engines.
In 99% of places, urban, suburban they are the loudest noise.
In European cities, the worst noise over capacity ratio is motor scooters and those large motorbike that are designed for noise (such as Harley-Davidson).
Yeah. Revving up your engines for fun in a residential area should be a criminal offence.

FTFY
I never understand this. Most of the time when I see this it's a low-throughput business like a pawn shop trying to entice people to come inside. But why would I get any closer to your loud-as-fuck speaker that you've propped the door open with blaring shitty trap music?
Go check out downtown Nashville, it sounds like someone gave 500 toddlers musical instruments and red bull. When it all mixes together it just sounds like noise
This is a common thing where you live?
In Denver most of the big box stores have remote police surveillance boxes erected in the parking lot that alternate between playing classical music and announcing that the parking lot is being recorded. In downtown some establishments (especially if they're near warm air vents) will play the sounds of crying babies or screaming women.
These are attempts to keep people experiencing homelessness away from there.

That's just fucking evil. Better than using some barely audible tone that hooks into the primal parts of our brains to make us uncomfortable and anxious (those supposedly exist), but even what you've said is just literally psychological warfare tactics.
Seriously, the CIA (or the equivalent) during the Korean War used to fly over vietkong areas blasting that sort of shit to disrupt sleep and demoralize them.
The Mosquito was a device for keeping teenagers away from the entrance of stores. It emits a tone so high, only yoots can hear it, us old fucks can't hear it, lol.
Never heard of the crying babies, that’s new. In the Bay Area I’ve heard stories of them blasting death metal because of homeless people camping adjacent to their parking lots.
You should move to a central European country. Waaaay better
I always wear earplugs as soon as I step outside my home.
-1 not unopular.
But it's not the worst form of noise pollution; unneccesary motor vehicles, and phones on public transport are worse.
Measure the noise level outside the edge of their property, if it is lower than a car driving by, it's hard to complain too much. If it's directed off their property directly onto a public street then yes.
The city I live in has music pumped in all through the downtown through outdoor speakers.
Is it dubstep or what?
Death metal.
Where is the problem?
The ones I hate the most are on public beaches. At least in Romania where I live, when you go to the beach in summer, there is always some shitty bar that blasts music you can hear 500m away and occupy a lot of public beach space with their beach chairs for rent.
I hâte noise pollution.
Give it a bit more time. Soon we'll have those directional speaker. Linus from Linus techtips showed them a few weeks ago. They will be able to blast you hundreds of meters away with directional noise that only people hear who they want it to hear.
Wrong sub.
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
