Rediscover Communication

why do people pump the bass to their crappy music? be it rock, pop, rap, country, the bass absolutely must be turned all the way up... i've never understood why or how having your heart stopped from loud pounding "enhances" the aural experience at all. I personally like the hearing all the music, not just the thud-thud-thud-thud. This bass phenomenon has gotten me to start listening to the bass guitar playing on various songs more closely and some of it's really cool, but not enough to want to listen to the bass guitar and the drums for an enitre cd. yes, they are a large part of the music, but good lord, i've been in some cars and i can seriously feel the bass in my chest, that's crazy, i see cars going down the street outside, the only audible noise from it is an incredibly loud THUD-THUD-THUD-THUD, and all i want to do is scream "WHY ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO MUSIC, JUST GO GET A FREAKING BASS DRUM AND RECORD YOURSELF PLAYING IT FOR AN HOUR!" Personally, I keep my treble maxed on my car, and the bass at about 1/4-1/2, where i can hear it, but it's not going to shatter my windows...




damned kids...




back in the day we pumped the treble, because that's all we had, and we LIKED it, damnit...



and i stick with my incorrect spelling of damnit, because that's the way it should be, damnit...



or Wil Riker's alternate spelling; "Damn it all to hell!"
