I really want to know how this started.

What is it with this trend of people playing music on their phones out loud in places like waiting rooms at doctors offices and areas where you have to sit close to others? There’s also people blasting their music at 3 am almost every single night and it’s keeping not just me, but also neighbors awake. Did the pandemic break people’s brains or something? Like I get that people used to have boom boxes and would play them in city streets back in the 80s or people will blast music in their cars with the windows up (not always), but it seems like it’s a lot more extra nowadays and it’s super annoying.
