I was once rocking out to heavier shit I am pretty sure I sound like shit singing (specifically Animal I Have Become by 3 Days Grace) while on lunch in my work van just parked somewhere and a woman walked by and complimented me, which of course made me turn it off, roll my windows up, and become a turtle inside my jacket. You know, a normal reaction.
I could be wrong but I think people underestimate how pleasant it is to see someone just having a good time. It always brings a smile to my face to see people doing things like this, or dancing, or some other joyful activity.
I caught a woman rocking out in her car in traffic and maintained eye contact until she saw me.
Then we both smiled.
I was rocking in the car before we could say it was a cell phone call!
I think old age has hit me… I do this, windows down (though not too loud) and more than happy to make eye contact with people while I sing along. I’ve taken to smiling, thumbs upping good driving behavior, etc, since I feel everyone around me is miserable in 2025.
If you can’t rock out in your car, where can you? As long as the windows are up and you aren’t rattling the neighborhood with bass, go nuts.
It’s a hell of a lot better than the woman I saw the other day having a loud argument on the phone with it connected to the stereo, with the windows open, at a stoplight.
Yeah, but it’s still embarrassing lol just imagine a dude going crazy in his car, I be he would get some looks
So what? I’m not at work, I also sing quitle when I walk in the road.
I ride around with a sound system on my bike.
It used to be “How can u pedestrians complain about silent bikes sneaking up on you scaring the living daylights outta ya when you turn around to look at what idiot is playing music while in the bike lane”.
and now I’m all like
“I’m an idiot haha look at meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!”
Feels good man.
Don’t bother being embarrassed for being yourself. Society has proven to be a bit shit, so why cater to how it thinks you should behave?
Life is better after you realize between 66% and 75% of humans are idiots while the rest consists of 90% consensus-driven individuals. Everything makes sense after that. I pity the fool rather than detest him and it’s easier to stay ahead of the curve since I no longer ponder if it is I or the world who is crazy.

I always sing this song when I want to impress with my japanese.
Saw this exact scene on a Chicago interstate one day. Pretty blonde girl was belting it out. She was so joyful it made me feel great. Then she saw me smiling at her and shrunk down in her seat. Great, now I feel bad for cutting of her joy. :(
should have clapped
my mind immediately went to “its the first of the month” what song even is that
