Are You Guilty of Being 'Speaker Scum'? The New Travel Term Going Viral

Welcome to the delightful world of “Speaker Scum,” where your in-flight relaxation is rudely interrupted by your neighbor’s rendition of “Despacito” at ear-splitting volumes 🎶✈️. Yes, folks, it’s a travel trend making waves (or should I say noise) online! Here are some juicy tidbits:

• “Speaker Scum” users prefer sharing their soundtracks over personal headphones—because who needs peace? 🙉
• The term was born on Reddit, with contenders like “Decibel Degenerates” also in the running. 🤪
• Airlines are scrambling to remind people about their “quiet cabin policy” 📢—but the offenders probably can’t hear the announcements anyway!
• Expert Brandon Blewett notes this audacious behavior includes everything from scrolling through TikTok 📱 to gaming loudly 🎮, proving that the “fun” in dysfunctional travel is alive and well.

So next time you fly, just remember: when life gives you loud neighbors, grab some headphones and get ready to cringe! 😅🎧
