Recently had some American friends visit. They were yelling across a nice restaurant at each other. It was so embarrassing, especially because I'm originally American.
- mancerayder 4y agoAmericans are extremely loud, both the people and the behaviors. People talk loudly, but it's not just that - restaurants blast music, shops even blast music. There's nothing more strange than going to a fancy wine bar and having hip hop or some garbage bass music being blasted so people basically have to yell at each other. How'd it get to this point?
- porknubbins 4y agoI would ask how did Europe not get to that point? Anything in America that gets coded as upper/upper middle class culture is attacked as being snobby, bourgeois, or elitist.
- withinboredom 4y agoBars, restaurants, cafes didn’t buy Sonos and turn the music up so loud you can’t have a conversation without yelling.
