I always assume people doing this are unhinged/crazy and I definitely don't want to deal with that.
Sometimes they look nice enough.
Usually what happens is myself and everyone else on the train look at each other, have a shared look of "Morons? Am I right?" and then when that person leaves, we all share a group laugh.
So I guess what I'd say is, if you do this, know that everyone is laughing at you. If you say you don't care, that's a lie, you do care, that's why you're doing what you're doing. This is not positive attention, this is negative attention. Please take a moment and reflect to be a force for positivity and not negativity.
The new trend I’ve noticed, actually is people SINGING/RAPPING along to the music on their headphones, like, fully as if they were the only ones there, while on a packed train.
I mean, i guess it’s better because it’s not as loud as their shitty Bluetooth speaker at max volume peaking like crazy, but it is super weird and very fuckin annoying.
Like, cool, we get it you’re so super confident and think youre as cool as the person you’re listening to in one of their music videos. But you’re not. Because you sound like shit and you’re a dick. Everyone else is getting through this train ride, why the fuck do you think we want to hear YOUR rendition of what you’re listening to? Like, I really can’t decide which is worse. One is way louder but one is way fuckin weirder. People who do either of these are true assholes.
Some guy got stabbed on the subway in Toronto a few months back because he asked a guy playing music to turn it off. It really is a crazy world out there.
Genuinely not necessarily true. I used to do this when I was younger. It wasn't because I wanted attention, I just like the feeling of being surrounded by music
Genuinely, the world does not want to always take part in what you want. There are rules to society that most of us at least try to follow out of respect. Time and place to be surrounded by music. I’d definitely say on the bus or train is not the time or place. Agree?
I don't personally do it myself just because I know the majority finds it disrespectful, but I actually enjoy it, especially when they are playing a good song and i can audile who the artist is.
headphones are both more polite and more immersive thwn carrying around a speaker to annoy others
So true. I have an older pair of headphones and they’re still the best sound I can get for my music. It’s the MOST immersive, not only like the sound is all around me, but right inside my head.
I masturbate on trains—not because I want attention, I just like the feeling of cumming and I wanted to cum.
Looks like you’re still not forgiven :)
You're a bad person.
