    Because they don't have the A/C on and they want to rock out? I do that all the time but I do turn it down some when I'm at stop light but it doesn't bother me if someone else is doing the same thing. The appeal to me is that I like to listen to my tunes and enjoy the breeze.

    I don't do this as much as I used to but just as Joechalupa said I would always be respectful to others and turn it down at a stop light, or traveling in a neighborhood.

    Honestly it's hard to explain exactly why I like it, it just feels good to do sometimes.

    Whenever some in a rice rocket pulls up next to me blasting Eminem or Rihanna or whatever it is the kids listen to these days, I roll down all my windows and turn up NPR as loud as I can.

    I think blasting your music solely to show off what you're listening to is about as lame a thing as a person can do. I don't even mind loud music, but the minute you roll down your passenger windows to show it off, you become a grade A asshole and a loser.

    I liked eminem's new CD but since the only song on it the radio plays is that Rhianna I've lost all respect for eminem.

    First of all, this troll really sucks.

    Louder music does indeed sound better to your ears. It has to do with the way your hearing perceives music. Specifically, the sound signature (or equalization) of the sounds that you hear. At lower levels, mids and high-mids are very audible, but they are not usually as distinct or detailed. But the lows and higher highs are almost completely imperceptible. This is one reason the "smile EQ" is so popular, as it boosts the lows and the highest of highs to more pronounced levels, while keeping the mids where they are, or even lowering them.

    The best stereos are known as "flat" or "neutral", because they remove exaggerated effects from the sound, giving you a more pristine volume at each frequency. But some people do not like a neutral sound signature, as they prefer warmth or "coloration" to their music which is perceived by some as more pleasant or fun to listen to.

    I believe there is also a very instinctual reaction to large amounts of bass. That kind of vibration level is somehow linked, IMO, to the perception of power in the brain. Much like a large V-8 that rumbles and roars when it's revved, a large amount of bass makes the person listening to it feel either A) more powerful or B) in awe of that power.

    You seem to be pissed off by a lot of things. What if someone really doesn't care about showing off, they just want to listen to their music at a very loud volume? I agree it's inconsiderate, but I don't necessarily think everyone who's blasting music is doing it to showboat.

    Why do you always sit at the back of the bus?

    I don't get the appeal either.

    Meh, I have a friend who has a fantastic audio system in his old Malibu. It's not the loudest or the most bass (a single 12"), but it is extremely balanced and sounds amazing no matter what he's putting through his speakers.

    The bass sounds better when the windows are rolled down than when they are up. That's the sole reason why I do it. Since I live in white dominated uptown, I turn down my radio at certain stops i.e. if I see a group of white people heh.

    I'm not gonna try to enforce stereotypes that they may already have and ruin it for other black folks.

    I love seeing that. Nothing you could do to make your dog happier than letting him stick his head out the window while you drive. I like the mutts that bite the wind. Too funny.

    I do it cuz I can and cuz I like it. I don't do it in neighborhoods and I'm mindful if it's late.

    OP, does it really matter why people do this? You sure do whine a lot on here.

    I do that when I'm close to home, coming out of a drive thru and I'm too lazy to press the "up" button and I love the song that is on the radio.

    I do it to some songs, because it just sounds better. Some songs are just meant to be heard loud. Ministry is ing awesome when it's shaking my mirrors. Even though the song was overplayed, when the drums on Green Day's "Holiday" kick in, it's great.

    What I don't get is the guys who bass out to some stereotypical rap song that has the same beat as all the others and is not distinct in any way. How the can that be enjoyable?

    While some may not like these artists, I know when I'm listening to Eminem, Jay Z, Kanye, Outkast, Snoop Dogg, and so on and so forth. I'm not a fan of some of those guys but I know who they are when I hear the songs. The style is distinct, with Eminem and Outkast being among the most creative with their beats imo.
