When did it become amazingly cool to wear really chunky headphones around the city? I have to admit, it really does look like you’re seriously into your music when you show you’re willing to wear 4 kilos of mini-speakers strapped to your head. Although, the guy I respect the most is the one who works somewhere in my building, whose headphones also have a microphone. First time I saw him I thought, “Hell yes, that’s what the world needs. Personal Karaoke!” I imagine him standing in a lift with a whole group of other people, shreiking “Who’s Bad?! Shamoni! Oooooo!” along with the music that only he can hear… (Murray @ Midnight | 2 Comments)
While I was in town yesterday I saw a small herd of them travelling up through the valley area. It was kinda entertaining as they all bounced up and down as they walked to very different beats. They kinda looked like robotronics… I must confesss I’d wear them rather than my little candyskull buds but the big issue here is – where on earth do you store those suckers when you are not vibing out to the beat. They are huge. You’d have to cart about a second messenger bag just for those bad things. ….and yet….
I say surgically implanting or attaching them is the secret. That way you never have to worry about taking them off and storing them somewhere, or putting them down and forgetting them or having someone walk off with them.
Imagine how our society would change. Cars would need to haver their roofs raised by an inch or more, door heights would become higher, ceilings would become higher, building costs would rise, more trees would need to be cut down, meaning less oxygen is produced possibly bringing a quicker end to mankind. Screw global warming, lets ban those headphones before it leads to the end of the world!
