I always assume people doing this are unhinged/crazy and I definitely don’t want to deal with that.
Sometimes they look nice enough.
Usually what happens is myself and everyone else on the train look at each other, have a shared look of “Morons? Am I right?” and then when that person leaves, we all share a group laugh.
So I guess what I’d say is, if you do this, know that everyone is laughing at you. If you say you don’t care, that’s a lie, you do care, that’s why you’re doing what you’re doing. This is not positive attention, this is negative attention. Please take a moment and reflect to be a force for positivity and not negativity.
Some guy got stabbed on the subway in Toronto a few months back because he asked a guy playing music to turn it off. It really is a crazy world out there.
Genuinely not necessarily true. I used to do this when I was younger. It wasn’t because I wanted attention, I just like the feeling of being surrounded by music
headphones are both more polite and more immersive thwn carrying around a speaker to annoy others
Genuinely, the world does not want to always take part in what you want. There are rules to society that most of us at least try to follow out of respect. Time and place to be surrounded by music. I’d definitely say on the bus or train is not the time or place. Agree?
You’re a bad person.
The venn diagram of people who play music on speakers in public and people who are a thin thread away from stabbing you is a circle.
Also, I live in the US, so the medical fees for getting stabbed is not worth the risk.
Why is it always the worst rap music imaginable? Like, I’m a hip hop fanatic, old school, new school, trap, g funk, boom bap, conscious, etc. But why is it the most asinine “i took a xanny now i’m fucking your girl” type shit?
You don’t enjoy “Gucci Gucci Gucci Gucci, fucked yo girl on a Tuesday, Gucci Gucci Gucci Gucci, I made poopies on yo boobies, Gucci Gucci Gucci Gucci.”
For real when did brands become choruses?
i wonder what would happen if you just start acting really into it and singing along terribly with enthusiasm.
The “my parents are so lame” gambit.
Probably tge safest option
Yeah I mean I’m not much of a fighter and I’ve gotten put in the hospital for something similar, so now I avoid confrontation like the plague.

Get a louder speaker and play really annoying sounds (not music) way louder.
Björk deep cuts. That’ll fuck with them.

I wish we all could get a Bluetooth blocker devices which would keep on disconnecting their devices.
