My interpretation of the post was less about the quality of phone speakers and more about disturbing the peace of public spaces

Yeah I figured, but it made me think of speaker quality. It's also interesting how this isn't socially acceptable today, but there once was a time that when boomboxes were pretty common. It's kinda sad actually how individualized media has become. I miss Game of Thrones watch parties when we used to crowd around the TV. I'm too young to have grown up in the boombox era.

I'm from the boombox era. They fucking sucked way harder than people playing music on their phones, because they were way louder. The music was better at least, although I didn't appreciate that at the time. Nowadays I love hearing old-school hip-hop out in the wild.
