I don’t get why they play loud music in bars. Um, hello. I’m there to talk with my friends. I don’t want your music so loud that I cannot hear my friends.
Last night the music was at an acceptable level, but then they continually raised it until we couldn’t hear each other anymore, so we left.
Why would a bar continually make their music louder? I see a couple reasons:
A) It would force their bar patrons to stand closer together to hear each other, hence more “intimacy”
B) As more people come into the bar, the talking noise gets louder, so they raise the music up, so people can still “hear” it.
C) The bartender doesn’t give a crap, they just want to hear their music pumped up loud. Who cares if the patrons can hear each other talk. I can hear the music blast nice and loud. 🙁
None of these reasons make much sense. Can anyone else think of why a bar would continually raise the volume of their music?
D) To “draw” in people from the street.
Yeah, a quiet bar doesn’t exactly sell as much as a ‘happening-loud’ bar would. But maybe you need to find a bar that doesn’t play loud music. I’ve got a list of bars — when I feel like looking at eye candy I’ll go to one set of bars, when I feel like chilling out I’ll go to another set of bars.
what’s weird is that the jukebox was patron-controlled.
***** what? i can’t hear you. this blog is too loud!
