Street talk calls those super-bass which-a-jigits "beats". Which is appropriate
as I'd like to beat most of the users about the head and shoulders with their
cheezy and distortion prone amplifiers.

Not to mention there has been some research (by the military) that being in a
high-noise low frequency sound environment can lower effective IQ up to 10
points ... and most of these idjits don't have tem points to give.

I can understand the attraction, though. When I was young and dumb and hadn't a
clue I used to clamp the Sennheiser headphones on me ears and crank Steppenwolf
(and others) up to the threshold of pain. Made cogent though impossible and let
the world slip away without resorting to either alcohol or less legal
substances.   Bv)=

But, I did this at home - not driving down the street in a two ton weapon. And
with headphones not LOUD speakers.
