I’m not that old but I remember when this was not the norm. And society was much better off for it.
It’s 💯 imposition of your will on those around you and it’s oppressive and obscene.

Jail for playing music out of the phone speakers is a little harsh, maybe a fine? The mfs that get on blasting their absolute dog shit drivel out of their portable speakers deserve to be locked far underground, and never bought back up.
A lot of this generation of youth are very annoying.

I really wanna say that this is a popular opinion.
I like the people who hold their phone out in front of their fat, stupid faces and loudly as possible speaker phone their call. And they just stumble along slowly, scowling at everyone, just hoping someone would say something so they can play the victim and explode.
It’s only getting worse too. I used to think it was a generational thing, but my boomer dad has no qualms about blasting his phone in a quiet restaurant.
Jail seems a bit harsh. But I should be allowed to break whatever device they are playing music from.
A sound drubbing would suffice.
what if i bust out a boombox? is that like guaranteed solitary for my sentence?
Oh come on pal, thats classic traveling music
“Riding on the bus, riding on the bus, sitting next to bums, there’s an open seat, hope that isnt pee”
Are you serious or is this just hyperbole

I dont get how this doesn’t count as a disturbance when theres already a law against blasting music out of a car
Here’s a thought. Maybe they should give out free headphones. No, for those people who can’t comprehend the fucking difference, I don’t mean earbuds.
Music is annoying, yeah, but the worst is the people that play casino games at full volume in public
Back when we had landlines and smartphones weren’t a thing, we had phone etiquette. Don’t talk loud in public, don’t put people on speakerphone without telling them, things like that. I don’t know what happened to that because the same people who would follow that etiquette back then is the same demographic that blasts their shit in public now
This is a popular opinion, fella.
Planes to. I’ve heard loud, “funny” youtube videos a few times
I assume you’re being dramatic by saying jail. But yea I think most people are annoyed by people using their phone loudly in public tbh.
ETA: oppressive and obscene? Really?
It’s “oppressive” but jailing people for annoying you isn’t?
a little far, but if it works, then it works.
popular opinion
How terrible it is to be forced to enjoy music. Music is not a social thing at all
My husband (50m) listens to reels at full volume everywhere we go. I swear it’s to get me to divorce him.
Whenever is see someone doing this my first thought is always mental illness.
Every person IV know personally who has to have music playing in their pocket all day has severe mental health issues.
You and I remember differently. You never saw people with boomboxes on public transport? Not only did I used to in the past, sometimes I still do. I don’t remember the same norm you do.
I disagree. If you put all noise makers in jail, jail will be hell for those that were there first.
I am almost old enough to remember people with boomboxes. It was highly looked down upon even then though and they weren’t in every kid’s pocket either
Jailed for some public music is some North Korean regime shit
You are playing music too loud? Straght to jail, right away. Driving too fast? Jail. Too slow? Jail.
If anyone in this scenario is to be jailed, it should be anyone who thinks we should jail others for mundane reasons. Facists like OP are more of a danger to society than people who blast music in public.
Wouldn’t that be a giant waste of money, time and resources to jail people? Like just think of the cost of having to catch and sentence everyone who does that. Plus what about other music like people who play it on a speaker, and people who play it in their car loud with windows down?
A fine maybe, but jail? That is just a waste of everyone’s time and money.
We don’t have enough jails in the UK for this, we are already letting criminals out early to make space for new criminals.
I would jail the phone companies that stopped including free headphones first. Treat the cause, not the symptoms
unless you are older and just opening up a message which could be a tik tok or just trying to entertain your self on your way to and from supermarket
“I dont like it when people annoy me, they should be thrown in jail!”
You know how insane you sound right?
I was kicked off of the bus when I was a teenager in the early 2000s for having music too loud coming from my *headphones*, and nowadays junkies just play music on bluetooth speakers at full volume on the bus, and the driver doesn’t do shit.
The 80’s would disagree.
See ghetto blasters.
You know what else is oppressive? Throwing people in jail for music.
People who take their dogs into businesses should also be jailed.
People with crying babies in restaurants? Jail.
People with crying babies on planes? Jail for literally ever.
Your idea is stupid. They’re being anti-social but jailing people doesn’t make them less anti-social, it makes them MORE anti-social. And they’ll probably come out a drug dealer too.
It wasnt a norm because smartphones with speakers werent a norm thing before
I enjoy when people blast music from Bluetooth speakers on the subway because then I get to play a game of “can I guess what device it is and connect to it” in the Bluetooth settings on my phone.
Ok i won’t use my phone. I’ll use a boombox instead
I’ve never seen this though, not for years. These days everyone has headphones on and not paying attention to the environment around them, which I think is weird tbh and possible dangerous.
Op doesn’t understand the word unpopular, does he.
Jail? Lmao, let’s also send stupid ahh people to jail for spreading such bullshit takes.
Grandpa today listening to his radio in a medical office waiting room. Hearing aid definitely off. Same same but different.
What if the song is great
Play music too loud? Believe it or not, straight to jail..
The jail part is stupid, either a fine or a ban from the method of transportation.
Or on the beach!
I don’t know about jail…
there needs to be pressure on bus drivers to give a shit to get rid of these people, or have an attendant who’s sole job it is to stop destructive and antisocial behaviour.
This is r/unpopularopinion 😭 this is a mediocre take at best
I don’t care about your opinion so much as I do the people misquoting Parks and Recreation. The line is RIGHT to jail, not straight to jail. And it’s only a matter of time before people start claiming it’s a Mandela Effect.
I was in line somewhere and a gen Z had his phone on full blast. He only put it on silent when I turned around to see who tf had their phone on full volume. He KNOWS it’s annoying and still puts the sound on until he sees someone get visibly annoyed.
WTH? I thought everybody wanted to hear my impeccable taste in Australian hip hop music?
My faves when you’re reading a book. And it’s not music – it’s just doom scrolling.
I made a thread similar to this one about whistling out loud in public and it got shouted down by a deluge of whistling advocates.
I guess it’s not really about the sound or the rudeness, you guys just don’t like hearing their music.
the public part is why i cant do public transportation.
And yet here you are trying to impress your will on others. Ironic.
Deboard. Fine. Community Service.
But jail? You must be out of your mind.

North korea level punishment, ruin someones life for music?
Maybe not jailed, but a fine would be suitable.
On a side note, people that wear their headphones EVERYWHERE bug me. Like can you really not take them off for an hour or two while driving/running errands..? Is it a social anxiety thing?
Not jail, but I think public shaming and a solid fine is in order.
The same for you sick fucks who use the speakeroption to take calls in public. You guys can go lick a 2-days old turd
Fuck up
I use to watch the simpsons on my phone through my headphones when I took the bus but one time my headphones disconnected and the simpsons started playing at full volume for about 5 seconds and that moment has haunted me for years
