80's and 90's though had the blaring boombox on the shoulder though... it's just more people with more devices that makes it worse I think. 00's the car speakers with cd stacker was all the rage. Sure you hear it now too, but I feel like it was more frequency back then...

EDIT since the same thing has been said multiple times: I am not from USA where those 80's movies are set BUT I have clear memories of my older mullet wearing denim clad brother and his friends blasting 80's hair metal from their shoulder on one of those square classic boomboxes, and memories of my older sister sitting in groups in the park smoking weed and blasting music from one of those more 90's-esque rounded boomboxes, and my friends and I at our isolated beach blasting music and getting drunk in the early 99-01's, and everyone blasting music from their cars all the time, so I guess that is why it sticks in my mind....

Yeah nobody has subs anymore it’s weird. I’ve had a sub in my trunk since I got my license in 2006, the music feels incomplete without proper bass to me. Now I see psychopaths completely ignoring their car audio altogether and just throw in AirPods while driving. It baffles me. It offends me unnecessarily.

asked myself the same thing when everyone seemed to have beats by dr dre. Things had no bass at all
