Why is society obsessed with how much noise it can make?

Maybe I'm just older, but I feel like a crabby old fart already with the belief that the most noise produced = the coolest.

Modded muscle cars, stereo systems, pickups, Harleys, race bikes, and the bumblebee fart engines shitting out loud noise everywhere they go. Seen kids with bikes and scooters with a speaker attached to mimic this crap as well. Seen fatsos on Harleys with the same speaker thing, just louder, to hear over their engines and chest thumping heart disease.

And I get some people like fast cars and run them at the track, those who ride quads around the woods, etc. Those who understand their vehicles make a lot of noise and try to mitigate that to not disturb others aren't the subject. But there's a subsection of fuckboys that love to rev their loud AF engines in their driveways with plenty of residences nearby. Fly up and down residential neighborhood streets going 60. Do burnouts at stop signs at midnight to wake people up. Blast music for hours on end. I think this type of behavior should be charged as terrorism after the 1st offense and dealt with similarly.

Add in people who like to set off fireworks all the time for no reason. People who need to listen to music in their yard or house/apt so loud their neighbors can hear it in theirs. Heard a guy listening to sports talk radio outside through an amp you could hear from half a block away. Fucking sports talk radio. Lmao. People who need to put their conversations on speaker so the whole world can hear. People who need to play games or watch vids on their phones with max volume and no headphones. Feel free to add more if I'm missing some.

What the fuck is wrong with this society that it needs to act like children with their toys. But children are the group I expect it from since they have an excuse. Is being an obnoxious piece of shit the new meta for happiness in this world?

Attention whores!

I thought that shit was cool when I was growing up in the hood but later on I figured out that that shit is retarded as fvck!

Yea, I look at all the kids doing the same shit my dumb ass used to do and just chuckle and shake my head at myself, makes me realize how stupid I was but also makes me appreciate the fact that I'm capable of growth and improvement
I know a lot of old ass people that still behave that way and probably always will but not ole Pete

we've sort of moved away from that

back in the day, loud ass minibikes were so popular, now escooters and edirtbikes are in, and those are way quieter.

same thing with cars vs ev's, a lot of folks have moved towards the ev market, the loudness is a dying breed. There are still remnants of it, but not as much
 
Thats just us getting old fella….happens to the best of us!

But i do agree that these behaviours are much more apparent in older people these days. Societal maturation is retarding steadily everywhere you look. People stopped caring about ‘growing up’. That takes effort.

Just watch it sink with a coke and a smile 😉

Makes sense. When you have a society that thinks like children, not a surprise when they behave this way as well. Thank you for posting this and seems like the bigger issue here. Much clearer and more concise than my bloody cunt rant. Lol
 
It's all to draw attention to themselves.

Except for music on loud bikes. Not really any other choice but at least they aren't blasting shit rap music. Crank it up you old def Harley fucks.

Blasting music on bike speakers is the most retarded and cringiest thing of them all for fuck sakes.

Saw a guy the other day, in his 40s, blasting rock loud as fuck on his mc. And you just KNOW that he thought he was Billy Badass rolling down the street like that but obviously everybody in his vicinity looks at him and laughs at him for being an absolute knob head.

Blasting music on your bike like that is PRIME attention whoring.
 
I don't understand the people who walk around with a bluetooth speaker in public blasting music.

It always the same crackhead looking people blasting the same trap rap edm garbage
 
I'm definitely getting into yells at cloud phase of my life, too, but I didn't get down on this even as a younger man. Never understood blasting music/revving engines.

With music, I like it loud enough that you can hear it properly - my girlfriend drives me nuts turning down music in the car so low that you can't actually hear all the elements of the music - but beyond this, it's pretty fucking obnoxious to be blasting your tunes out into the environment.

I remember I worked with a couple of fellas in northern Alberta that had a lowered pickup truck, and two gigantic subs installed. They listened to heavy metal with the bass levels cranked. The music wasn't even discernable, it was just this blurry, ultra-deep resonance you could feel more than hear. Cooooool.
