    Music in restaurants and bars is just too loud. I know why the music is loud, but I am still going to shake my fist at it like Grandpa Simpson.

      Same. It’s getting worse over time too, I can hardly hear anything anyone is saying in restaurants and bars anymore.

      I felt my inner boomer grow stronger after writing that.

      I’ve thought this since I was young. Background music? Cool, keep it quiet so we can talk.

      Does this mean loud music is bad? No, I’ve been a put my head in the PA speakers metal head since I was young too. But I don’t expect a waiter to serve me then.

      Beyond that, it’s a known problem that as you get older audio distractions become more severe, and I’m sure there’s a neurodivergent dimension to it too, so it’s one of those things where we are actively punishing people for wanting to be out and socialise. Also sure it’s one of those things where everyone thinks they have to do it but don’t

      I hate it in overcrowded public bars when I want to just sip my alcohol once a year with friends and have a chill talk.
