Soooo, here's the test. When you turn the radio up, are you alone on a long and winding country road or are you forcing your music on the nonconsensual ears of others? Not that nature isn't full of nonconsensual ears but they won't complain about it or whine about it to other nature creatures or Instagram it like humans do.

Another way to look at it is if someone were next to you and blasting a genre of music that you don't care for, be it opera or death metal or elevator music or whatever, how would that make you feel? Or are you one of those people that would have music wars at a stop light? One goes higher, then the other and so on and so forth.

I have songs like that too but I turn it down at stop signs and lights, if someone else is near me with their windows down, etc. Maybe I'm too nice. *shrug* I do try to be considerate unless I'm out of my mind angry and then screw everyone with a pineapple. Twice.
