OP There is a car in my neighborhood driven by a tenager. A bumper sticker on the back says:
"The music's not loud. You are old."
Now, although the volume is "cranked up" it is not the loudness of the music ... it is the bass vibration, along with bass beat, that hits me in the head and stomach like a sledgehammer.
The teens tell me they like the way the deep bass and beat make their insides vibrate! It gives me a headache.
There's a word for that combination of beat and intensity but I cannot remember it ... timbre keeps popping into my head but that isn't quite it!
HELP!
wow
P.S. Must say that when I told them the effect the loud beat had on me, the teens turned off the radio and do so whenever they are visiting their compatriots next door. Good kids!
