Forced to listen to your hip hop and rap

Can only endorse the previous comments re asking the 'offender' to turn it down. Almost always get a positive response in the 'oh sorry' area. I do NOT blame the MP3 user. I blame all of the people sat around tut-tutting, pulling 'isn't that annoying?' faces and saying nothing. Whoever the MP3 user is, they would quickly find they are in minority if a few folk spoke up. On the odd occasion that there has been a rejection of my suggestion, other folk add their weight to my argument. One particular time the 'offender' moved to another carriage - hope he received the same treatment there......

the worst thing is when they play a low quality mp3 though their moblie phones loud speaker which sounds like a transistor radio in a bucket of water. and they think they are 'cool' for annoying everyone with their 'tunes'

I find it very annoying especially in a confined space such as a bus or train. Even more so than someone doing untold damage to their ears with tinny earphones.

On numerous occasions I've had to politely ask the offender to "Turn it of please as it's very annoying" and never had any problem, mostly getting and teenage grunt type apology. But I sure as hell wouldn't do that on the street.

Surely there is a copyright infringement here as this could be classed as public broadcasting, and don't you have to have a license to do that? As usual these days though, the Police wont do anything about it as there would be too much paperwork for them to wade through (blame the Government for that, not the Police).

Little Feat did a song, "Boom Box Car". It lyricly states this sentiment:
"...wouldn't it be neater/
if I blew out your speakers/ with this 12 gauge across my knee..."
:lol:

Overly loud music is indeed quite annoying; infuriating, even.

I'd have to say that those who find their voices extraordinarily appealing and have sudden urges to sing along with the music are prime candidates for ejection from said vehicle; especially when it's in motion.

It really irritates me when I travel by bus and there is a young person(s) have their MP3 player complete with ear-phones, belting out whatever it is they are listening to, I don't have a problem with anyone's choice of music but why should everyone on the bus be subject to constant bass sound, I, myself have a preference for Motown and 60s, I don't imagine these people would enjoy me inflicting my music on them or someone with another taste blasting it out, would they?

C'mon kids, yes enjoy your music but I don't like it and would rather not listen to itI

punk rock and classic rock is well better than eminem and 50 cent. them guys just go round saying they shot this guy and they have had that girl. what a load of rubbish they are all just little men who can rhyme a little

I think dance music is a good source of fun. It makes people become lively and jump around. It doesn't matter if it's played loud or not, it's still all good. I especially love dance music by dj cammy.

Most music is OK but the stuff by artist like 50 cent aught 2 be made illeagal!! That type of music is just noise and as no meaning. I like folk music bands like Show of Hands cos their music is a 3 min rant about rich city slickers buying up the countryside!! ;P

To be honest anyone playing any loud music is wrong. I would consider myself more of a rock fan than rap but I deal with it. I cannot play anything in my school gym without getting complained at by other students. I dislike people who complain about "that rap c**p and that emo s**t. Everyone has a right to diffrent music types whether I consider it appaling or not. They should listen to it with headphones (did you know there are noise laws that you could prosecute if its above a certain level. And to the starter of this thread, if you hate these guys laying it so much just take some dragonforce with you and play that full volume and see how they like it, (our school classrooms at lunch is like a noise war)

You Complain about all this Rap Rubbish being bad but whats a hundred times worse is all that metal and Punk Rock Crap that a lot on em listen to. I have to use the bus every wednesday afternoon

I can also tell you there is a good deal more people who play English (pop and rock) music a damn site higher and to me this is hideous

Please don’t forget the teenagers with the mobile phones constantly play their pop, house, trance etc music LOUDLY on the bus and this is worse as you can hear the crappy tinny lyrics.

Anyone who plays their music loudly like this should have consideration and invest in a decent pair of in ear earphones like the one I mention in my previous post.
