No, they need to put on headphones. There's other ways to connect than to blast music in everyone's ears, give people headaches, and make others overwhelmed, in pain, and miserable.
This isn't a positive movement; it's a nuisance and a pain. It's not social harmony because everyone didn't agree to hear the music. This person didn't ask anyone.
A concert is social harmony; everyone is there to connect through music.
Inconsiderate person, go listen to your music at home. I don't want to hear it. I'll listen to my own music if I want to hear music.
We must not tolerate people like this. Speak up. Stop them.
The world is loud enough. There's music everywhere—grocery stores, restaurants, etc.—that you can't control. I won't tolerate unnecessary noise. Put on headphones and enjoy your music.
I don't care why they're doing this; I care that they're doing it.
It's not their right to take over the public space and force noise on others.
Hey Deon, love this comment. I can feel your feelings in the words. I’m with you. In the time since I wrote this piece, I’ve only gotten more pissed off about sodcasting. I almost always confront people who do it. I’ve been trying to think of unconventional solutions to the problem.
I have to agree with Annabel, I'll see sodcasters in a different light in future... perhaps they're misunderstood, and trying reach out to connect rather than to annoy!
Such a great essay! Witty, humorous, 10/10 POP. The observations are outstanding. I hadn’t thought of it, but I think you’re right about sodcasters wanting to think they’re cool.
haha thanks (hate the sound of my own voice—don't we all?) but a few peeps have been telling me they think my accent might sound exotic to some (honestly, anyone in Yorkshire is laughing at me so damn hard right now)…so I gave it a go. YOLO!
LOVE.
Harrison, what a beautiful transformation. I love this piece..I won't look at a sodcaster quite the same way anymore 🤔
Thanks Annabel for your edits and your kind comments! David and the team are right! This social writing process really works!

A really amusing and insightful piece Harrison!
