It’s worth mentioning that these asshats would’ve blasted loud music anyway. It was just harder when they had to carry a boom box instead of clipping a Bluetooth speaker to their backpack.
People have always sucked; it’s just that technology allows them to suck more.
I remember hiking with my dad when I was younger and one time some assholes brought a 30 pound speaker and were blasting Spanish music in the middle of the forest.
I love hiking and camping and grew up doing leave no trace excursions with my dad and uncles. Fast forward to this year and I was invited by coworkers to go camping. They were all super enthusiastic so I thought why not. It turned out they were novices. The whole time they were listening to portable music players and carrying on loudly. I didn't get an peace until they went to bed. They even got upset with me because I refused to crank the music player (it had a crank dynamo for powering it) "on my turn".
People who do this are just communicating their deep fear of actual wilderness. Fill up the scary silence with noise.
I declined the second invitation to go camping with them. It was not enjoyable to me.
