I think it has less to do with the sound level and more with the notion of who’s ass we could kick if the offender was offended.
The guy across from the guy who was playing his music too loud probably felt that the offender was of no threat, while he then probably wasn’t sure how he’d deal with the two loud gentlemen.
If you’re a guy, you don’t tell another guy to STFU up unless you can take him, or are part of a majority. This guy wasn’t sure and he was alone, so he kept his trap shut.

AHH This is the guy who works at the Divisadero Farmer’s Market (no, not the actual farmer’s market on Sundays – just the regular liquor store on Hayes & Divis.) They overcharge twice the amount, they’re creepy to women and they have a weird guard at the front who thinks you’re going to steal beer. Gotta boycott that place people! It’s nice that he turned down the music, though. I’ll give ya that one buddy! Just this once.

hmmm, not sure the “kind” or genre of music matters much to me. it could be hip hop or symphony, i think it’s pretty rude to blast your music. if some kind of consensus could emerge on a ride, and everyone wanted to hear something, that’s different. but i doubt that’s anything close to the case most of the time.

Hmm I’m a lover of hip hop so I think I would like it quite a bit if it provided the background to my ride. But sound track to the Titanic is a different story altogether.

So what kind of music was this guy blasting on the bus? I wasn’t sure from your post.
