Traveling definitely made me have some empathy towards people playing music in public places. In south america my friends there would be like "wtf" if they got to a beach or park and no one was listening to music. For a lot of people music is a symbol of happiness and having fun and a lack of music makes them feel uncomfortable or even depressed. So its more so a gripe about a lack of power for us people who enjoy the peace. You can't "turn on" quiet like you can "turn on" music.
