Well...that was...pleasant. OK, assuming that the owner of the Lower the Boom website actually did write those e-mails, which I highly question, then...yes...I have to concede that he is indeed an ass. Had he written those remarks on
this forum, he'd have had "loser" under his name in .3 seconds. That doesn't diminish the value, nor the validity, of the message in his website.
I could not possibly care less what music people listen to. I'm rather eclectic in my own music tastes, and therefore appreciate some rather unconventional genres. Hell, I openly admitted that I like Barry Manilow, for Pete's sake. But, my point is, it's not the music, but rather the heavy bass, and the vibrations that these so called
boom cars eminate. I find it not only annoying, but physicaly painful as well. I've also seen $3000.00 worth of equipment in cars not worth much more than $500.00. What's the point of that? The point is that it's all about being annoying. It's done with the open intent of being offensive. It's all about putting yourself out there as being an outlaw on the edge...an anti-establishment rebel. That's not about the music.
And on a final thought...how cool can you actually think you look when the bumpers, and the trimwork, on your car are falling off, because it's being vibrated loose? How can heavy bass sound cool when it's acompanied by the rattle of loose metal? All I can do is shake my head.
