He's trying to impress the ladies and look really cool ... and failing miserably.

i love to listening to any type of music loud. Espically if it has nice bass. But to the point where your entire car is rattling is just gay.

Maybe some hardcore of some sort, dance tunes etc, that are VERY bass heavy?

I have a few - New Order - Confusion (Pump panel remix) (the song from the club in Blade)
Prodigy - Voodoo People (and remoxes) and No Man Army, and I have other bass heavy songs, but i want something that will be seriously unbelievable.

bass kicks in typical uk garage are pretty heavy
dynamix II uses heavy bass kicks

and then there is:
rok dis joint

Thats a stereotype.. I like rap and I'm very courteous.

One example proves nothing.

If you did a study to gauge politeness, intelligence, and attitudes, the stereotypes of those those who listen to rap would be found true, atleast for the majority.

As for the volume being up high, I know the answer: Just a bunch of imature idiots wanting attention. Mostly kids, or younger 20 somethings who can't grow up. Dumb people are very self conscience.

Rap is children's music. It's funny though, because rappers rap about how "manly" and "hard" or whatever they are, but the average listener of rap is a 15 year old kid who's just angry at his parents.

<---- likes loud music, but turns down his music at stop signs, red lights, and when parking. I just jam out on the open road.

I need stuff they won't like. They like Garage type stuff, which is half the problem.

Darude - Sandstorm may be a very good option though :)

UK Garage is a bit different from what's normally known as Garage(rock band) in the US.

Here's a taste: Download my mix: Digiram's 2step garage mix

PRIMUS tjey have some great bass, just pump up my name is mudd.


Also, my theory is that if they listened to rap at normal levels they would realize that Rap infact is Crap.

Actually his example, and I'll include myself, proves not all people who listen to rap are discourteous... but we're going off the subject here.

Nothing sounds good on a system that comprises of the sh1tty stock speakers, with an aftermarket headunit, a pair of 12" subs running off an amp that's clipping and distorting the subs so badly you can't even hear the bass.

And country can sound great on "those" type of systems, if you set them up right and use good component.

Going back on topic, they do it because 90% of them are inconsiderate. If they cared that nobody else really wants to listen to it, they'd Dynomat their car and roll their friggin windows up.

And to the guy complaining about the stereotypes, they exist for a reason.

So your hypothetical trumphs all others huh, I'd like to see this study. I too like rap and I'm top 5% of my class (despite my lack of math skills :frown: and generally very polite. I also like classical music (large Dvorak fan) along with classic rock, techno, blues and pretty much any other type of music. So theres 2 examples vs your hypothetical. Empirical evidence FTW!

Seeing as how well you sterotype, I'm going to try it to. Everyone who insults a group of people for liking a certain type of music is just insecure and wants to try and feel superior because in real life, no one likes them.

Because after they have been listening to it for so long, what else do you expect them to do. They are deaf, they have to turn it up. :p
