Here's the deal iPod generation, you think you look like a cool cat with your white earbuds jammed into you earholes
while you're typing on your laptop at Starbucks and generally dicking up the college campuses across the nation, but you're
killing yourself. I'm not saying this to save your hearing, because I could give a fuck less. This is more of a last-laugh
type ordeal.
Let's break down the advantages and disadvantages of earbuds.

|
-Looking like a pretentious douche
-Letting others know you're in on it, too (See: Livestrong bracelets)
-Deafening yourself

-Awful frequency range
-Only get a trace of low-end even when they're riding piggy-back on your brain like an ear tampon
-Distort at the first hint of sound
-Treble sounds like your music being played by a symphony of mosquitos

Like heroin, breaking your ears into loud sound will take just a little more each time to do the trick. A direct injection
of 120 dbs with the earbuds' added 6 to 9 dbs just won't do it after a while, but that's when they've maxed out!
What can you do?
I know I'm the first one to photoshop anything that will get my point across, but this is an actual screen from
informationweek.com that gets to the bottom of my argument for me:
As those Shakespeares just pointed out, it's all about the Look. I'm not trying to change minds, just letting you know
whose obnoxious cockery is going to bite them in the ass later.
