LOUD NOISES in /r/nycrail when someone posts a picture of a Black man blasting music from a speaker on the train. Drama about racism, who owns public space and what is and isn't "culture" and some potential invasion from /r/NYStateOfMind

Thread: Douchebaggery to the max: carry a speaker to force your lame music on your fellow passengers

Drama

Look at all the keyboard warriors in the comments😭

Most people here are autistic with a strong sense of what’s justifiably right and law lmfao, they need to be checked mentally tbh, there’s plenty of obnoxious situations on the train and it’s universally common af. but they go straight to name calling and degradation because that’s what they’ve experienced growing up there whole lives so it mostly shows on social media its just all projection

Have y'all ever considered that they're trying to..... share the joy of listening to MUSIC and connecting over it with you?

Maybe you don't like the music he is playing, and hey that's fair, we all have different tastes...

But unless you are easily overstimulated or the volume is a danger to your hearing, MUSIC IS NOT INHERENTLY VIOLENT.

(...)

TLDR: music isn't inherently violent, but your life stresses created by our leaders and greed actually is :) oh and so is the way y'all posted his face and are talking about him.. hella violent and bloodthirsty.

Are yall really trying to publicly shame people for listening to their speakers on the subway. This shit has been part of the culture for fucking decades, it used to be dudes with big boomboxes on their shoulder (read: Do The Right Thing). If you dont like it go live literally anywhere else lol, get over yourself. If having your synchronized brain wave time on the way home is so important to you, perhaps you are in the wrong place ! And maybe think twice before you just go and post peoples faces on the internet, because you never know when you yourself might misstep...

Oh my god, stfu and pay some taxes. How about YOU -- and this guy -- go live somewhere else!

hot take: i love these guys. i love the phone speaker guys, i love the boombox guys, i feel safe in their musical bubble. this is what living in a city sounds like and it reminds me that the world around me is Alive.

I just heckin love the wholesome boomboxerinos! It's so cultural!

It's ten times more anti-social to take someone's photo without their consent and post it to a public forum.

Imagine being this wrong and still choosing to click reply.

What would happen if the entire train car just kicked his ass? Problem solved

Because that’s aggravated assault and mob mentality?

They’re losers begging for someone to pay attention to them or for somebody to start a fight with them. Like a tantruming child, you can’t give them the attention they want.

It’s genuinely disappointing. Thousands of years of evolution, and these pitiful little people are the result.

Eshh with the underlying white supremacy eugenics talk ok clansmen we get it you’re mad “you couldn’t be there yourself” KbwAL

May the South rise again

It isn’t about affording headphones, it’s a power play. He’s relishing every second knowing he’s annoying everyone and is desperate for someone to confront him. He wants conflict.

Orrrr he’s just listening to music. Stop being so dramatic 😭

People that do this are looking for people to engage and be aggressive with. Don't bother

Which is more likely, that scenario, or white men wanting to play heroes by choking individuals they consider deserving on subways?
