People listening to music on their earbuds/iems loud enough for me to hear what they're listening to.

Well damn, if someone is listening to their IEM's, loud enough to be heard then their hearing is pretty much fucked.  Though, I imagine it would be tinny and sharp sounding in other words, NO bueno!

People who wear Beats annoy me, who say they're an audiophile because they own Kraken Forged(True story),  People who play obnoxious EDM on open backs when they have a pair of high end closed backs on a damn headphone stand right behind them(Me, because I am a hypocrite) 

 

People who DON'T like The Beatles, people who feel the need to blast Morris Day songs and act like hipsters because, it's like MJ but it's not, and because Jungle Love sounds like Uptown Funk but it's not therefore I liked UF before you did and my music taste is far superior because Morris D isn't mainstream.

 

Or people who like the Grateful Deads "Space" not talking about the song, but the retarded improvisational stuff they used to do in between concerts, 

 

The list goes on, but I'll cut it short with this

 

I get really pissed when people say Kanye West is a revolutionary, a great artist, influential and better than the bands of old....

Well, damn...

 

I pretty much fit into all of those. I don't particularly like The Beatles and I do like Morris Day

However, I have never heard of Jungle Love and I really don't care about the Grateful Dead.

 

While being better is a pretty subjective term, I would not deny that Kanye West is (or atleast has been) quite influential. 

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy pretty much popularized the whole art rap style that is still going today. While Kanye wasn't the first to do it, he was the first to bring it to the masses and influence as bunch of other artists to adopt the same style. 

And the same thing can be said about the noise/industrial rap elements on Yeezus.

When you want to buy some sweet gear and then you discover the price and you drift into eternal darkness contemplating how broke you are 

 

Then you decide to settle for entry level shit and you read reviews and tell yourself that hey it can't be THAT bad, then you buy it and it is THAT bad and you come to the audio subforums of LTT where everyone is going to shred your hopes and whatever quantity of self esteem you had

M40X's actually and they are great, not complaining about these ones since i have a car to maintain and therefore cannot buy a pair of 800$ headphones and call myself an audiophile on the internet

 

However, the GODDAMN Behringer Xenyx 802

People who walk up to me asking, "Do you know what all those knobs do?", "Will you play me a song?", or my favourite one "Can I touch a knob?".
