Probably road their loud ass motorcycle to get there.
This just screams I beg for attention! Look at me !
There is this fucking guy at my local park that sets up a full DJ system with giant speakers and “spins” electronic music, by himself, with no audience, loud as FUCK, at least one day every goddamn weekend for multiple hours. Everyone loathes him, but he doesn’t seem to care.
Where I live both are acceptable, but it depends on where you go
If you go to the "main beach" that's where you bring music. You show off your body, you listen to loud music, you cruise, etc...
But if you go the "locals beach", you show up looking like shit, keep your music down, and lots of people drink illegally but they do so low-key so while we all know they're doing it, nobody cares
To me, both are acceptable. It kind of sucks to think there is no place at the beach where you can party
But it also kind of sucks to think that there is no place at the beach where you can actually enjoy the ocean
SO we have both, you just need to know where to go
Someone blasted their playlist during a citywide fireworks display...why would I want to hear the explosions.
i've been in the band that plays during the fireworks, so to your point:
some people like music.
Yeah, I just hate it when I go to a concert and it's all fireworks covering up the music I went to see. Would suck if the opposite happened...
Music hater
There's a point where its way too obnoxious but I think it's fine as long as you find your own space. We all kind of silently claim spots in public spaces like the beach so just claim somewhere that is not too close to other people.
When I want the serenity I go off to the side where no one is. I don't think it's a big deal.
Hey you're welcome. I really enjoy my Bluetooth speaker at the beach. I play it just loud enough so when I'm sitting in my area in my little tent that I can hear it. If you're sitting close enough to me to be able to hear your music then you can fuck off.
It’s not like people bringing loud music to the beach is something new and different.
It's like people have none sense of why they go places.
A few years back, I did a lantern-lit tour of Mammoth Cave. I've done them in the past, and the ambiance, sound, smell, and flicker of firelight gives a very close yet mysterious feeling to the tour. This time though, as soon as we got into the cave, half the dipshits on the tour had their harsh white cellphone flashlights going everywhere, completely ruining the experience that they (and other people) had just fucking paid for. They really need to have a "movie theater" cellphone policy for those kinds of tours.
Music concert - everyone recording with their phone out.
Fireworks display - everyone recording with their phone out.
Bride comes down the aisle - everyone recording with their phone out.
It's just pointless. You ruin your own experience of the event because you're watching it on a screen instead of experiencing it directly, and you ruin other people's experience too.
And the wedding one I've seen far too many times.
What do you think the official wedding photographer is there for? When the bride and groom watch their wedding video back they want to see a room of their happy family and friends, but instead they'll get a video with rows of people staring at their own little rectangles and pointing them at the bride as she comes down the aisle.
Do yourself a favour and live in the moment sometimes, please.
Phone cameras are a godsend when I need to remember.
They are a curse when I want to remember.
I try to always make a point when recording to have the phone down as much as I can manage, so I can actually watch the event with my special eyes.
I went to see the leatherback sea turtles nesting a few years ago. They guide themselves by the light of the full moon and we were explicitly told not to use flash photography, as it disorients the turtles. As I’m sure will not surprise you, as the turtle ladies crawled up onto the beach, about 100 blinding flashes went off right in their faces.
Oh fuck that makes me mad. If I was running that operation, I'd have those people removed from the beach immediately. And probably fined, depending on the situation.
Or better yet, ban people from bringing cameras with flashes.
pretty hard when they're phones, but i get it. it's almost worth investing in some cheap digitals that you can destroy the flashes and give to everyone to take the photos and then email them their copies. and by almost i mean i wish i had the money i'd do it right now.
JOKE'S ON YOU ASSHOLE, I DON'T LISTEN TO THIS PLAYLIST ANYWHERE ELSE, BECAUSE I MADE IT JUST FOR THIS BEACH TRIP!
What if my music is a driving rhythm made to amplify ones enjoyment and celebration of being alive with others that's just what we've been doing in nature since before the United States showed up with a bunch of indoors people?
I mean, I've had to listen to some pretty shitty, country music before, definitely not something that fits my idea if music or a good time, but I just move, or swim out 100', or hike, and bam, nature sounds.
99.9% of the outdoors is not full of these people. You can just go there. If you can't just go there, maybe you have to put up with the other people who also can't go there.
If you are having a party with lots of people, fine by me, I'll avoid your group.
This is a much bigger problem when you are at a crowded location with strangers and you choose to play music. In that case, get some headphones.
How are you in any way "enjoying nature" in a manicured location next to a parking lot, that is packed with people? I dunno, 'I want to experience outside around tons of people but don't want the things that come with tons of people' is just a really weird niche to expect everyone else to conform to.
Yeah let's go for a semi-relaxing float down the river...oh look 2 dipshit trashy rednecks blasting their shitty country/hip-hop playlist over a cheap Walmart amp-sized speaker with the sound quality of a flip phone.
I swear the next time I go on one of those I need an air pistol that only shoots small darts. Fire one at the float carrying that speaker and just float on happy.
Chugs can of Bud Light. Tosses can in water.
Maybe bud light before they acknowledged a trans person existed. Now these cousin-fuckers exclusively drink Busch Light
Well, Budweiser and Busch are both owned by AB InBev. But I guess that's that level of awareness one can expect from bigots.
Thank you, I specifically crafted this 3 hour slam death metal and goregrind compilation for my 5am beach walk by the residential area.
If only. Instead you will hear songs about trucky-trucks, beer, and fishing sung in only the most generic pandering tones with influences of whatever music is currently popular at the time.
I could sing in mandarin, you'd still know I'm panderiiiiin'

Some people get to go to the beach all the time and enjoy having fun there and being social. Not quietly listening to the waves. You want a public beach to be your way, go buy a private beach.
Nobody wants to listen to your shitty music.
walk ten feet. the ocean is loud. i can tell you've never been
I don't care that you don't.
- FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
Girl have you seen my thoughts? I have 3 prefrontal cortex handicaps, it's chaos up there.
Idk i feel like most beaches this is pretty acceptable. In my experience if you walk further from the parking lot you get more seclusion and peace. IMO a reasonable volume on a speaker isn't any more disturbing than kids playing which is expected at the beach.
the difference is the "i need silence" folk just want to get away from all the sound of humanity. which, cool, but you need to actually get away from humans to do that. we get you don't like humans. some of us do. don't expect everyone to accommodate you in public. it belongs to me just as much as it belongs to you, and you ain't accommodated shit for me.
I really wonder if there is any place outside of a concert venue that these folks find music on speakers acceptable? I kind of get it if they're solo, just use headphones, but... hanging out in a group and listening to music together at the beach is about the most normal use of a beach trip I can think of.
I just got back from a beach vacation in a house we rented. Unfortunately I had to rely on a relatives speaker, so I could relax watching for no kids to drown.
Mostly played soft R&B, Blues, or anything downbeat at a lower level I could hear it over the sound of the waves and screaming children. But I was sitting right next to it and not blasting it from 100 meters away.
We'd also setup way early with no one around. I'd have the speaker rolling and the beach wasn't packed. Yet people still setup really close to me on both sides.
At that point I figured they weren't bothered. They would hopefully have said something because we talked to each other about the kids playing together.
So yeah there are situations, like everything else.
Probably only person I bothered was my Mother-in-law, because she is kinda racist and doesn't like music made by darker skin people, but that I really didn't give a shit about.
yeah, you pretty much get ten feet from the speaker and can't hear it. beaches i go to at least, there's lots of us little dorks sitting and drawing or reading or listening to music all quietly by ourselves, sneaking a joint whenever the kids are away.
or i assume. ain't got kids so that's what i'm doing when everyone else's are in the water
