Why assume I like your music

ME ME ME....my loud music, my yelling voices, my late night party, my trash and dog doo left when I leave.....remember, it's the selfie generation.

Got news for you all... it ain't getting better and it ain't going away.

The cultural decline and general disrespect began around oh, I'd say the mid 1960's. You know, the "peace-loving", generation. Morals and general community standards have rapidly eroded since then. Might as well enjoy what time we have left here while at the same time trying not to be a door mat for others.

I joked about outside speakers, but we don't have any. Likely never will.

In our previous camper, we would turn on the radio and open the kitchen window and sit beneath it. If we could hear it beyond our awning, we turned it down.

Being a hybrid, we were also careful about being loud at night, playing cards or whatever. As much as we heard the campground around us through the canvas, we didn't want to disturb anyone else.

This year with a larger, full TT, sounds may be different, but if you hear our (best taste ever! :p ) music, you may as well knock and be invited in for cards- you'd have to be that close :C

Hybrids are like tents in that respect. Gotta be quiet in every respect.

Oh? Even that? Oh my :o

I bet this is one of those threads that if I've read the first 3 pages I've read every opinion anywhere else in the thread.

Thought we were the only ones in campground but heard voices from a few sites away. Walked over to invite them for a beverage. Turns out was trailer with outside speakers and radio on tuned to talk radio. Nobody there, just the radio. At least we didn't hear it inside the MH.

Back on point.. it's not about the type of music, it's about ASSUMING those around you want to listen to it with you.

As someone pointed out, even if it's my favorite song of all time, I may not (probably don't) want to hear it blaring across the campground. But, of course, in today's society, unfortunately, it's all to common to get a response like 2Oldmen got, 'Im camping and I'll do what I want'.

I remember me and my buds 'rappin to Rappers Delight' during our late teens, so I can enjoy all kinds of music, in the proper setting. I just don't force my neighbors to listen it.

Of course there are exceptions. If you have found some you like and it's an exception, all the better ;)

Since you wondered about it, here's one such discussion about just profanity that you may find interesting.

Do I consider that a definitive study? Probably not. But it does have a bunch of other info in the article that supports why we don't like rap music. And that is just the cursing part. Doesn't even talk about the subject ;)

But hey, if it's your thing....Different strokes as they say.

Yeehup that blogspot highlights a hip hop sub-genre commonly known as gangster rap and it rightly spotlights a few groups who had their rude crude heyday during a 10 year period between the mid '80's and '90's.

'Course it's now almost 25 years later full of time flies when you're having fun, and like other forms of popular music artists have moved on even those who started some of those groups.

Thus, I agree w/ the blogger that music from a generation back is the exception as opposed to the rule in rap today;).

And just to make us all laugh at selves no matter of what generation my sisters and I still titter over the time our mother saw an album cover for "The Grateful Dead", and loudly and angrily proclaimed that no one knows if the recently departed would be happy to be there or not.

This story has also been added to the collective giggles of our family get-togethers but at the age of 93 she has more finesse than her grandson, says nothing, and continues to eat lobster tails daintily.

IF folks over indulging, letting their hair down, getting it on is bothersome then I would suggest you NOT go camping on those weekends that holidays are being observed.

x2. That's the only way to handle it.

Years ago I got the definitive answer to asking someone to turn it down: "I'm camping. I'll do what I want."
