I guess no one with loud music considers themself an asshole, so this should be actually giving the information on exactly what you mention.

I had a collogue who installed his speaker setup facing backwards out of his trunk. He knew what he was doing.

  I know it's a typo, and I make typos all the time, but this one should be elevated to the "new word" status A collogue: Someone who sees their role on the team as to annoys others.

  That’s just how you install a subwoofer though?
- Drew_ 2y ago
  They were probably subwoofers. The direction doesn’t make a difference for those.

  He knew what he was doing, but YOU had no clue what he was doing. Low frequency audio is close to non-directional, you install subwoofers where it is convenient to fit them, not to "aim" the sound in any particular direction. Mine is firing directly upwards. I'm not trying to knock birds out of the sky.

  Subs are non-directional, as someone else pointed out, and bass sound waves need room to propagate. The actual direction they get "aimed" can also depend on the trunk area and shape. My subs, while currently pointing backwards, would have been better firing upwards for no other reason than the manufacturer (Audiofrog) doesn't recommend grills. As it is, I have to be careful what I place in my trunk to avoid punching a hole in the cone.

There are examples in several cultures of songs that boast of annoying others: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMUDVMiITOU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMUDVMiITOU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_IWlPHMziU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_IWlPHMziU Other cultures seem to feel more entitled, thinking that THEIR music could not possibly bother anyone. I've certainly heard people blast Wagner or Orff at high volumes.

  “turn down” isn’t about the volume of the music btw.
  - microtherion 2y ago
    Interesting! What is it about, then?

      The phrase "turn down" is the opposite of "turn up". To "turn down" would be to decrease the intensity of the party. And "turn down for what" means something like "don't stop the party for any reason".

        Pretty sure that's not the case here. To "turn down" is a common phrase (at least in the US) that is used to describe changing something by use of a control. As described at Wiktionary [0] - it's an idiomatic way of saying that you're going to lower the volume through use of a control to do that. The context that was used has nothing to do with party.

Hmm, but maybe all culture works like that.
