Well I, for one, also suffer from music-in-public-induced-anger (I always assumed this was the default position of anyone with any couth...my family's exasperated eye-rolls at my profanity-ridden tirades whenever I unwillingly hear a Taylor Swift song has disabused me of this)...perhaps there should be some kind of support group...

I'm surprised by the reaction. I assumed my distaste for nonconsentual public music was fairly uncontroversial. It lowers our collective bar. And I don't like wearing earbuds in public. You gotta be aware on these mean streets.

This made me start thinking of alternatives. I think it might be kind of cool if grocery stores had the ambient noise of the starship Enterprise, or elevators were like the insides of a B-17 in flight, engines beneath radio chatter.
