Hyper Competitive Attitudes, Poisoning Car Audio Hobby


Recommended Posts

Ive seen jerk offs, running around comps, all the same.....

I go back to my group, and we drink, and watch them just look a fool. Puff their chest out, act like their cock just doubled to 5 inches. meh...

Most times, im just FINE being me.... not that loud, still learning like a 3 year old, and .... the one guy, everyone at the place, knows will try and help them.

I will die happy knowing this,.. not that i made a number on a puter screen. :shrug:

Well said, man, it sounds like you covered all the bases. This needed to be said-- One look at YouTube comments on bass vids--pretty much any bass vids-- shows the problem in its entirety.

I make a point to call these people out and let them know that the car audio community as a whole should stick together, collaborate and, to borrow a phrase from a great old movie, "Be excellent to each other". More often than not it falls upon deaf ears but man, you gotta try. Never been to a competition (I don't even know if there are any in my area) but I'm sure the same shit goes down there as it does on the internet.

I really need a garage...

Price vs. Performance rules my life!

I love the video Ed.

Everyone has seen "That Guy" at the comps. Dogging everyone else's stuff, usually when his is crap.

My favorite story- I went to a show where an older guy (maybe about 50) was walking around and talking trash about people's systems- (instead of just enjoying himself like what a laid back show is supposed to be, but I digress). Mainly making fun of Kyle's Blazer ("It flexes too much- he ain't gonna' hit no numbers because of all of that flexin") and my Astro (He Didn't know it was mine as I was standing there and acting like I was some random noob while listening to him- "This van ain't gonna do nothing because he got them old speakers too far back in that wall. And them Hifonics ain't nothing. He ain't gonna hit 135.")
-Kyle runs and does somewhere around a 154 burp, I run and do 150.3 Street Beat. He is somehow still talking smack and we both ask which system is his- "Well, uh... I don't have my ride here, but it is louder."

-and this is a grown man?!?!?

I think the most annoying cases of hyper competitiveness lies within hardcore competitors that go after points and records etc... How they act towards people treating this hobby as well... a hobby. Making fun of people that meter a certain way, certain organizations. Probably the most frustrating thing to me because most people are in this as a hobby.

Most of it stems from immaturity.

All too often today you have people who have no regard for other people in any way shape or manner, and enjoy being a disrespectful prick to others around them for their own personal pleasure.
