I've gotten over the need to vibrate my internal organs. I also live in a nice and quiet apt building. i despise others making noise around me, and i certainly do NOt want my neighbors to hear anything from my apt either.
When i was younger i liked it louder... But the phenomenon of "BASS" came around later. About the same time as surround sound started. (because subwoofers became a product normal folks could buy) Suddenly all the music being produced had MUCH more low frequency content, and folks in general began clamouring for more bass.
Play some 1960's and 1970's rock... that has NOT been remastered: no bass. Remastered after the 90's bass up the wazoo.
I do like natural bass. but the uber bass in some post 90's Rock is just not needed. (except of course, to massage one's internals, which some enjoy.)
