I should have mentioned this was at a public park with hundreds of people, no one asked or hired the dude to be there, and he was playing shitty music loud enough that you could not here the explosions. If you did that, you are also terrible.
i mean, i’m a musician (see above). when i’m playing music on my speaker it’s when i’m on my bike so pedestrians get out of the way and i don’t have to have one of those (more disruptive and annoying) bells that clangalangs the entire damn ride. or it’s somewhere that i can listen quietly, the music doesn’t go too far, or my own home. like, i get it. but the whole “i like the quiet so i own the public” movement, you folk need to move away from people if you want silence that much.
it may shock you to learn that people make noise just by existing. and for most of them, it brings joy.
I’m proud of you for being a musician. As a fellow musician I understand that when I play at a venue where people on not there to specifically hear my band play, we play at a completely different volume and take more breaks. Because people hate a random band dominating the random bar they chose to go to in order to talk to their friends.
It kinda sounds like you don’t have great musician etiquette and some main character syndrome.
i’ve been in the band that plays during the fireworks, so to your point:
some people like music.

Wait tell me what demanding silence from everyone in public spaces is
You got me. I definitely did exactly that, and it is not a strawman argument at all. Good one. Hope you play as well as you argue.
Yeah, I just hate it when I go to a concert and it’s all fireworks covering up the music I went to see. Would suck if the opposite happened…
well yeah, you just set up closer or further from the stage as you are able. it’s a You thing, not a public problem
