I hate people who don’t know that headphones exist >

They know, they just want you to hear! >

Also it’s not always safe if you’re riding a bike or something and need to hear other sounds >

Than don’t listen to music! >

Why, when you could be on a nice little bike ride down the bayou or something and spread a little joy while you’re doing it with your Bluetooth going >

Because others don’t care about your music! >

Lol I think at least you do! >

I don’t mind it as much as people who talk on speaker phone. However what does annoy me is people who game and just have music blasting the entire time. I mean yeah I mute them but I’m just like come on >

Now there I agree! >

I've found new music this way! Not every time, but sometimes >

Those are the best finds when you get to ask someone what they’re listening to >

Well I mind very much >

I respect your opinion and just want to acknowledge that your username is hilarious in the context of this post. I hope you live in an apartment building with close neighbors for full irony >

Thanks man.
I do this. I'm usually out with my two kids and we bring a Bluetooth speaker out and play music at the beach or park. I'm gonna be honest, I've never even considered it may annoy people before lmao.
I wouldn't do it in an enclosed space but outside? I don't see why that would bother anyone. >

I think it’s nice and it usually makes me smile. It feels like the person is safe to interact with, like they’re publicly saying they’re friendly. Im wondering if some of these scrooges are also walking around being mad at sunshine and if a butterfly lands on their nose. >

Yeah I've never gotten a nasty comment and always gotten smiles. My kids love eighties music and grunge music and people always look so happy to see them vibing haha >

It’s funny how it’s almost always the same genre of music. No ones ever listening to Mozart in public it’s always something ghetto. I don’t want to walk my kids and hear Khai’s “Ny neck my back” blaring in the background >

I have quite literally heard Mozart blasting before in public. I’m not advocating for putting porn around children, obviously, but this comment is super fucked up.
Your inability to differentiate between all the beautiful and diverse ghetto (clutches pearls, black!) music and and some pop song about coochies is far more disturbing than a little soul on Sunday park day. >

I love when people do this!! Whether they're dancing on a street corner or quickly walking by. It's just fun, I think. I love to see that they're enjoying themselves, I love to be able to connect with a stranger for a few moments just because we're now listening to the same thing, I love the fact that someday I might accidentally hear an artist I really like, I love the communal aspect of someone stopped in an area playing music and you all get to dance to it, I love being able to just see people like in their own worlds even when they're in an area not tailored for them. It's a fun crossover of still being yourself whilst engaging with others you're not well versed with. I love hearing new songs I haven't heard before. 
I also think, it's fun, because I know a lot of people who used to play music on their phones while we walked down the street. And now they complain about others doing it. And, I love that little look into the selfish side of humanity, it's so sincere. We always want to be comfy and having fun. It can turn into hypocrisy or growth or acceptance. I like that about us. >

Said it way better than I did >

I feel like I've heard it happen way too much to have any more energy to mind at this point. I used to take the bus everyday to work, there was some dude blasting music out of an 80s style boombox, holding it on his shoulder and all (this was in 2021). I was well past the point of getting annoyed, instead all I could think of was "why would anyone want to carry that huge thing around at 6 in the morning".
I wouldnt say I like it, more that i dont have a reaction to it. Then again, I'm from NY, the land of "what's the point of reacting anymore. It is what it is".
