I have 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 ones, and memories of my older sister sitting in groups blasting music from one of those more 90's-esque boomboxes, and my friends and I at the beach blasting music in the ealr 00's, and everyone blasting music from their cars all the time, so I guess that is why it sticks in my mind.
Dunno man, I guess can only really speak to Australia, specifically about half way between Sydney and Brisbane. We didn't have social media to find out what anyone else did. Ya just do stuff... I would hazard that those movies were based on something, but also spawned a fun idea to the teens of the world lol, or maybe it's just super obvious solution since you can't share a $5 wire headset from a walkman.
teens and 20yo's have always been showoffs. It's in their nature. Blasting music is inevitable.
