Auckland’s underground street music scene: cars, loud speakers and late-night sound battles

how come they neva actualy play a cool song?

What an embarrassment to society. Get a job.

Respect to the brothers even though they're corny as fk don't know shit about sound or music mfers. They ain't hurting nobody and doing their thing.

Siren Queen

What an embarassment on a world scale. Just shows exacly how bad nz actually is with sex education. All these mistakes could have been prevented with the simple use of a condom or contraceptive pill 😂 evolution was slow on the islands we get it. But why do we have to suffer. This is what we pay tax to fund. These people breeding.

Personally i like siren jams and i might be bias cause im polynesian but i love the songs and my cousin goes to siren battles to watch instead of joining a gang, id rather my relatives go to siren crews than gangs cause being a polynesian in new zealand aint easy, never fucking easy

These are those cant afford decent speaker routes aha faarken wack!! 😂

Not my kinda scene but mad respect, keep it peaceful out there boys✌🏻

This is a big noise problem for the public, make the sirens illegal and take them off the road.

If your "scene" is defined by being annoying...sure.

Genuine question.
Why do Samoans and people from Tonga say they are New Zealanders when they are clearly not.
They come from Samoa so they are Samoans. They have never been and will never be New Zealanders. Same for Fijians and Tongans.

From them outside this looks pretty stupid and annoying. 😂

What a pathetic waste of time.

Wtf is this 😂😂😂

So playing another cultures’s music really loud is being used as a substitute of any real culture but these folks? There isn’t anything positive about this and just excuses to be obnoxious and to get attention in a way that destroys other folks’ lives. Immature and ignorant.

cultural and self-expression my ass; it's rude, disrespectful and inconsiderate. The behaviour of kids WHO HAVE BEEN RAISED POORLY

Start blasting classical music

this is the dumbest trend ever

Fuck this shit. Have a rap battle.. siren battle wtf

Funny battle, doesn't exist anywhere else. Just please don't do it in neighbourhoods.

is that a culture of respect? Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them

But why?

The very definition of inconsiderate, obnoxious baffoonery. And I thought bikers were bad...

empty vessels make the most noise, you bunch of cavemen.

Don't they have noise violation rules?

Poor neigbours

i wanna see them do some celine dion shit ya gets meh

BREAKING on the BBC today: Celine Dion is the hottest sound coming from the sirens bolted on cars and keeping residents of Porirua from their beauty rest and tempers are rising!

Comin from a rave sound system culture background i approve ov this...just play some better music...loool

so I like what do !sounds all that , but you don't care at all about all of us family's at the beach etc ... but we not at the islands . have some a small amount of respect .. ps i know this falls on deaf ears .20 years from now you might understand.

Nuisance sirens and dirt bikes making South Auckland look like trash these should be banned

any videos on how to hook up sirens

Humanizing this does nothing to me. Blasting any kind of obnoxiously high DB sound without people's consent is a form of terrorism.

more sirents gonna blow their ears out faster, requiring more sirens lol. shits dumb, to me personally. I'm a bass head, I need my lows 3-6db over my mids/highs. alllllll treble is fkn annoying llol

What a stupid and cringe culture, they can join the squatted trucks from the states. Pure cancer

I truly dont understand, it doesn't even sound good. Sounds absolutely terrible. And highly annoying. I know keeps you away from violence and all, but still, could of found something less annoying, that doesn't disturb the piece.

Noizy boyz all day tokos willy vs thing i forgot but cool as keep it up my toko

It’s co-ordinated to piss off those who are better off. There’s no reason for it to last till 6am and to speed on the motorway while doing it. Or to play 20 second clips of the most annoying songs. In Wellington a lot of it is gang affiliated these people are doing gangs dirty work for free. At least with my wealth I can move to a country where police have bite.

I got 10 sirens but how I hock it up g😅

They dont limit its use to carparks for 'battles' they drive around early hours of the morning waking people up; thats what we have a problem with, let people sleep you instead of being inconsiderate, ill-educated arseholes.

Dickhead patrol more like.

Ridiculous, get a job, go to church! your doing more harm than good! They're all little kids trying to be heard through shitty speakers 😂 shame

"love of sound" 😅😅😅😅 buy some real speakers if you want people to actually enjoy listening to your music 😂😂😂😂😂 so fkn cringe

I hate this so much, the sirens/speakers are so damn annoying

Gay

Just another form of low achievement

Just plain stupid annoy the Neighbours

evryones good till cancel crew

Not sure why everyone is so on board with this. Instead of being a plight on society in one way, you've become a plight in a different sense. Fuck off with your loud music, this is just aural vandalism.

This is the most obnoxious and self indulgent sub culture. I've heard one in person and it was ear shattering loud from like 200m away.

New Zealand also has the bikers who make their bike as loud as humanly possible and then rev with the clutch open in busy streets.
I've seen a biker with one of the loudest bike I've ever heard. Start up his bike and rev it hard as a mother pushed her baby in a stroller about 2 metres away from his exhaust pipe on the pavement.

How you gonna talk about completely violated everyone walking the streets as a hobby....
