Re: Loud Music
Timmy, you seem to be quite the jack wagon! If your fun and enjoyment equates to the volume and level of bass, then good for you. Have fun at these establishments along with your 8 friends. You need to understand that just because someone wants to actually hear the lyrics and music and not just thump thump thump, that doesn't make them old.Originally Posted by TimP420
I did notice last trip that Negril is becoming geriatric central. Not a lot of younger folk. I don't like loud music but when I was younger my folks complained about Led Zeppelin, Alice Cooper ET al. Plus ca change........
By the way JR., I'm not hip to your lingo. What's a "jack wagon"??
That stretch of beach is party central. That's what party central sounds like these days. When I was there the place was packed. I don't think they would pay to have a dj or band every night if it wasn't paying off. Music has changed in all parts of the world. You're going to hear more than Bob Marley's Greatest Hits when in Negril.
1. I'm 'old'
2. I like music, I really, really like music, all kinds.
3. If you are 'young', (which I assume by your attitude you are) check this out. I was listening to rock n' roll when you were soiling your nappies. So don't try to tell me, or any other 'old' person about music. Our generation invented rock n' roll and Reggae. What has yours given us? Justin Beiber? New Kids on the Block? Cake? Go ahead, give it your best shot. (BTW, we also invented the technology that lives in that phone that you are addicted to.)
4. I don't like loud, distorted, abusive, so-called music, especially the kind with a 'DJ' talking over it. Take note - music doesn't have to be at 120dB to be appreciated.
5. If you do live to get 'old', you will come to the realization that you don't have to be stoned or drunk or at a party to be having a good time.
6. 'Who cares' - yes, it's the familiar refrain of the self-centered, selfish, only I count and I know everything, 'me' generation.
PS - I put this in point form to make it easier for you to understand. I know reading comprehension can be a problem for your ilk.

In early Feb we were at Kuyaba for Dinner...........The sub woofers were obscene from somewhere close on the beach........Never had that problem before and probably won't again as I won't be going back there for dinner anyway..........Must have changed Chef's or something........

JR& NAISE, I don't care who you are, that's funny right there....
Love this thread, mostly because I have been on both sides of this argument. I love the music, both new and old school Reggae, but the volume and the late hours that it is being played has exceeded my age. Still love the beach vibe, but the late night blasting has made me think twice of where to stay when we book our trips. Years ago when De Bus, Risky Business, Roots, Alfreds and a few others had live bands, things finished up by 1:30, 2:00. Now it seems like they do not even start until midnight. Maybe I am just old, but even when on vacation, I still like to get some sleep. Also, you do not need to have the volume to ear splitting levels to enjoy it.
Damn, this has gotten out of control. Music is to be appreciated, noise isn't, I don't believe anyone is complaining about music. Individual choices are recognized and appreciated but blasting a sound system, not live music late into the night is not only disruptive, it's disrespectful.
