This has been all too common for some time now. I don't recall when, but not
in the 1970s or early '80s, for sure. . .

I once heard, on a street with a lot of people, mixed sexes & ages, a
convertible blasting "kill your moth, kill your mother, kill your mother 
dead" & the 3rd or 4th repetition ended with "kill your f*cking mother"

Another bad one, was in a family project; teen girl had 2 Live Crew blasting
from speaker in bedroom window, facing street, one of their songs involving
graphic description of beating & raping his **** (one or both of the two 
words boys use for girls so uncharmingly, in crap music); little 3yo girls
lisdtening t7o this pure garbage.

Ok, I was old (22 or 23) but that wasn't it; this really WAS pure filth & bad
music, & an example of youth (she was 14, maybe) gone wild. . .

I cranked music, too, as a teen, but I was in the country, far from everyone,
& my music had songs like "Defenders of the Faith"(Judas Priest)...

I once walked a mile out from home & was still not to the nearest store, &
could hear my music still, but the nearest people were another mile forward. 
I lost track of the sound before I got  there. . .

This was using a concert amp-speaker case with 6 amps & speakers in it; so
today they have better tech & can do bigger than this volume from a basic
stereo. . .

Q: What do you call a group of deaf people?
A:I don't know. But it is definitely not herd.

Going to a rock concert is a near-deaf experience

When I told my mate I was going deaf, he asked, “what are the symptoms?”
I said, “they’re a yellow cartoon family with Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and
Maggie”

When you see a deaf couple holding hands, maybe it's not a romantic 
gesture...
Maybe, they just want each other to shut the heck up.

I said to my kids, "Never let anyone tell you what you can and can't do! Take
Beethoven for example. They told him he could not be a musician because he 
was deaf!"
"But he didn't listen!"
