[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, man.  You must really hate me.  I have a speaker on my bike, and I have been really into Ethiopian jazz lately.  I do hope that others enjoy it, but even if they don't, I can't say I particularly like the noise of cars, so I guess it all balances out.

I do really enjoy, though, when I pull up next to a car and the person has the windows down and is rocking out to something completely different than whatever I am listening to.  We often exchange a look and a laugh, and it makes for a pleasant interlude in my day.

So, maybe consider whether you can find a way to appreciate that someone else is having a good time, even if it's not exactly your cup of tea?[/quote]

Why don't you just invest in some decent headphones?

It's not that other people don't like your music.  But sometimes I just want white noise in my car.  Maybe I've had a long day, maybe I have a bit of a migraine.  My drive home may be my only "alone time" for the rest of the day and I kind of treasure it.  Maybe I want to hear the birds instead of your noise pollution.  I'm not as aggravated by car music as OP, [b]but try putting yourself in other people's shoe[/b]s.[/quote]

This goes both ways. Imagine another person having all the same feelings of a long day and stress etc. But she has to go home to her condo where there are strict noise rules, and she just wants to blast her jam for a few minutes to let off steam.

The car is not a quiet place like a home. Sirens, horns, revving engines, traffic noise...it is ALL loud so there is no real expectation of quiet on the road. And it is so brief and you can get away from it rather quickly.
