A new form of sound pollution

Now, I don't know how new this type of sound pollution is, but I've noticed it two times now within the last two to three months, so I'm going describe what is happening.

The new trend for some people nowadays is to share their music in public places. Thus, instead of just listening to their portable CD player, or in most cases, Ipods with headphones, they now have these contraptions with speakers in them (i.e. either a bag with speakers that you can plug a portable player of some sort into), or a case where you can fit your portable player and speakers, but it looks like a CD wallet.

I usually have an issue with people who listen to music really loud in the metro. But, it's only their ears that they are killing, so if they want to have the hearing capacity of an 80 year old by the time they are 20, that is fine with me. However, this new trend of sharing your music with everyone is really terrible, and such a loser thing to do.

What bugs me even more is that now people play their music, which I don't need to listen to, on the metro or on the bus, through their little contraptions that play their music loud. No one needs to hear your music, keep it to yourself. This goes the same for rap/hip-hop, to Pussycat Dolls to classical music by Dvorak. Although, I have noticed that most of the losers who do this tend to play rap/hip hop music, and I tend to hear Eminem.
