Music in the halls? Make that music in the cafeteria. Rumbler staffers weigh in on the pros and cons of rock and roll playing over the speakers during lunch.

“I completely hate it because it just adds more to the noise level in the cafeteria in a bad way.”

-Kristina Jingling

“I’m for it because I love to listen to music all the time, so I’m really enjoying it.”

-Mikayla Calhoun

“I’m against it because it doesn’t sound like music, you can’t really tell what the song is, and it’s not my style of music.”

-Annabeth Gibson

“I like it but I just kind of wish you can actually hear it because it’s really low and it sounds like noise coming from nowhere.”

-Jariah Johnson

“I’m for it. I like all genres of music, so usually whatever they play is fine with me and I like the background noise.”

-Jordan Buie

“I like it because it lightens the mood in the cafeteria and it makes it more fun to sit in a giant room full of people you don’t know.”

-Kristin Nicol

“I’m against it because it doesn’t really sound like music; it just sounds like a dull intelligible roar.”

-Kayla Peterson

“I think it would be cooler if they played the music at a better volume, where it wouldn’t be too low to hear but not too loud to talk over.”

-Roman Schwartz
