The guys with boomboxes were generally walking down the street or in a park or something (usually break dancing in a cool multicolored windbreaker and shutter shades while doing it). That's def more okay, usually fine, since it's outside. When we're talking enclosed spaces the rules differ, boombox guy moon walking into a dentist's waiting room may not be a well received.
Boomboxes also usually have big enough speakers that they sound way better than the tinny, harsh screeching of smartphone speakers...not that I want people routing their mobile game noises and tiktok videos through better, louder speakers.
