It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Alas, Mike, you're too late

I'm a classical musician Mozart and Beethoven guy, so believe me, I can appreciate unamplified music. But they lived and worked in a quieter, pre-industrial era.

Acoustic music got a lot louder in the late 19th century, and since the 1920s, electrical amplification has been integral to nearly all kinds of music, apart from those of us interested in classical music of a prior era. My theory is, music is louder to compensate for our louder post-industrial environment courtesy of cars, planes, trains, air conditioners, and all sorts of other machines. I'm not happy about it, but that roaring and screeching train has left the station.
