Is Reggaeton at 9am Really That Bad?

This techie in Argentina seems to think so. He should be grateful it’s not Babymetal at 8am.

I love the sense of entitlement in this quote.

I understand that jamming a neighbour’s speaker might be illegal, but on the other hand listening to reggaeton every day at 9AM should definitely be illegal.

Roni Bandini, “Reggaeton Be Gone” creator [1]

When I lived in an apartment, the terms of my lease specified that people were expected to turn down the volume between 10pm and 8am. So, 9am seems perfectly reasonable to me. Especially since some of my neighbors would be having loud kinky sex between 11pm and 1am.

I can’t help but think Bandini (and his neighbor) needed better soundproofing, not a selective jammer. They ought to gang up on the landlord instead of fighting each other. [2]

If I had this guy for a neighbor, and I knew he was screwing around with my wireless speakers, I’d get some wired speakers and serenade him with Babymetal or Slayer at 8am. Or maybe I could go classical and hit this guy with Mozart.
