Why people like loud bass?

[Fajita Jim]

I don't get it. The way some of these people set their stereos you can't even hear the lyrics because BOOM BOOM BOOM. Anything other than the drum and/or bass just disappears beneath the assault.

What's the draw, there?

Asked this from my little brother, "Because that's how you're supposed to listen to music while driving." he says. It's annoying but tolerable.

Because some people consider music to be music if there's vocals in it. If there isn't any it's just noise. Not my words mind you, but that's what some of my friends tell me.

my previous neighborhoods made me hate subwoofer with a passion.

it's not just what you hear , it's also the freaking vibration that you can feel.

Basically just to show off their crap music

I prefer music to be nice and clear instead of just hearing a bass boosted mess.

a bit of bass boost is good for as long it doesn't drown the rest of the music , but yeah a lot's of peoples are just annoying with the thing.

Bass is awesome as for instance an instrument but I've heard bands that didn't have a bassist and still managed to sound great so, yeah. What's with the bass? *slap

[Xite >X< 👁️👁 🇦🇺]

Totally addicted to bass...

Edit: autocorrect

i think it's annoying when they've got these speakers in their car and they start blasting it as they drive around.

i like loud bass because i like to make my house and car vibrate plus if you are an audiophile like me weak bass aka low bass is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ god awful and anyone who only blasts the bass sucks at eqing their systems.

theres a fine line between loud bass and still hearing the voice aka tremble and bass, to just being a person who thinks loud bass is good which isnt.

but yeah low bass isnt good for music nor games depending on game and song.

i personally hate when people blast their horrible music in their car at 1am in the morning

now bass boosted where the audio is peaking yeah ill never understand that one

I personally don't see the appeal either. I tend to be drawn to stereos and headphones with a more neutral sound signature so I can make everything out evenly. I guess you can say I'm an "audio purist".

I love bass, I've always had subs in my car and in my current home theater system I'm planning on adding a 2nd sub for when I bump music lol

It just feels good.

I like as much bass as the musician intended for there to be.
Not easy to achieve, but not blasting the lows (or even not using the EQ at all) can help tremendously.
Some music is meant to be boosted like that, though.

I used to have a sub woofer under my desk but it was rather large and cumbersome to have around. It did give off a better sound quality though.
