 They don't look like they're having fun tbh 
 But they do look like they want to look like they're fun. Which is why I wonder if they're trying to make friends? 🤔 
 Not to sound all bluesky or whatever. But it's never a woman. 
 Probably deeply-rooted in some kind of evolutionary male courtship display. 
 Sometimes actually there is a much older guy doing this. And they seem to actually be having fun. Tends to be a different genre of music, like soul. And on a bike. 
 As long as it’s not on public transport. 😁 
 Lol yes, that is another grumpy complaint, very close to this one tho..but seems to be a different branch of the phenomenon lol 
 Yes, I was confusing your observation with this. It was just the other week, sitting quietly on a train, when a small group decided to march through the carriages whilst the lead proudly held out a little JBL Bluetooth speaker… I was incredibly envious and impressed 🤣 
 Why don't you ask? 
 No no, that's how they get you to be their friend
