McGrath--it is indeed the former. I never play music too loud to annoy people. I usually only play the fiddle when the neighbors aren't home. But when THEY disgerage my feelings and pounds the ground with the hiphop beat, I play my fiddle or my music--not to make them mad, or to win a battle of the bands--but so I don't have to hear the nasty obesenity laced woman hating brand of rap they seem to favor. It's especially embarrassing when you're there with your sister.
