Everyone knows what a big-boom bass stereo system is. They started in the mid-to-late 1980s with the rap/hip-hop crowd, then just about everyone wanted one.
I grew up in Seattle and spent my late teens and 20's listening to all sorts of music that was going on in that area, including stuff that was on my friends big-boom stereo systems.
However, just yesterday I head a guy out by my new house putting off some boom. It was the first time in at least a year that I heard someone doing that. It's not that I leave a sheltered life, I'm out and I go to different places where people gather together.
Is it me, or are less people installing the ear-splitting hear-it-500-feet-away systems, and going towards a good and clear sound system? I know that some of my friends who used to have the lound systems are now complaining of hearing loss, these are guys in their early 30s, mind you.
