    I see various forms of peacocking these days. The other one is blasting a 1sq mile radius with music from a vehicle.

    Incidentally this meme captures my reaction when I see Clint Eastwood.

      People got worse over the course of the pandemic and it appears they have no intention to go back to more reasonable public behavior ever.

      That kinda goes back to the OP’s title. It wouldn’t be as bad if it didn’t sound terrible. I miss the early 00s when every 3rd or 4th car had giant subwoofers. I may not like what you’re playing but at least it sounds decent.

        I have to disagree. 9 times out of 10, the song is being drowned out by the sound of the entire car rattling from the bass.

        Personally, I prefer a much flatter EQ when listening to my music. I often times turn up the high-mids just a tad. I love a crispy high hat. Jacking the shit out of the bass is kind of spitting on the sound engineer that mixed and mastered the music. It’s like taking a medium rare A5 wagyu and dumping A1 sauce on it.
