I'll be thinking of this comment before I consider playing loud music in public.
victimless offenses, i totally get, like jay walking when there are no cars, popping under rope barriers at the airport when nobody is in line, disobeying traffic signs when you know it’s safe, but i just cannot fathom being so myopic and self absorbed that you would think it’s ok to blast whatever noise you happen to think is cool at the time for everyone within earshot to hear. same with loud exhaust, especially when installed on purpose because engine go brrrrr. it’s loud stupid bullshit for loud stupid people, and everyone who can hear it thinks this too. how can anyone interact with the world this way and not be completely mortified?
Victimless offenses hold because we’ve decided upon order as a society, and we rigidly hold to the order so that society doesn’t fray. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard “the downfall of society begins with the individual,” “the unique fork is useless,” “the nail that sticks out must be hammered down.”
We do this to ourselves in the hope that these litmus tests for maintaining basic societal decency hold fast. We do it cause the law is the law, and the social contract comes first.
Also every last single person’s music taste is cringe-worthy when emanating from a bluetooth or cell phone speaker on public transit. Even blaring Dolly Parton is a bad look.
edit: and use your damn blinkers. You bought them. Use them.
