Well, it's summer time, which means that we have heat, sunshine, baseball, and...thumping. Loud thumping.
I happen to live in Chicago. While many parts of the USA are dealing with an influx of Mexican illegal aliens, the part of Chicago in which I live has a surfeit of Eastern Europeans, legal and illegal [mostly the latter, I suspect]. One of the things that seems typical of all of them is that, unless they're over 60 [yes, 60] years of age, they all thump. They thump. All of them.
They thump loudly. They thump non-stop. They thump all day, and much of the night.
So, Euro-thumpers, why do you all thump, all the time? Why's thumping the only kind of "music" [not really music] to which you listen? It's all you ever play. Thumping, all the time, everywhere, all day, all night.
This comes up now because it's summer, which seems to spur you Euro thumpers into even greater heights of thumping. Where I live, you can hear thumping near and far, so that it sounds like a battlefield.
Here's something that you Euro-thumpers seem to do frequently. You park your SUVs or cars, you leave the vehicle and go into the house, but you leave the thumping going...all day! Why? The whole block viabrates with Eurotrash Rap/Thumping, but you're not even there to listen to it! Why do you do that?
I've come to the conclusion that there must be genetic component driving this behavior. That it occurs in nearly every Euro illegal [or legal, for that matter], it must be something genetically programmed. Maybe some sort of nuclear fallout from Soviet weapons testing, or the nuclear waste cloud emanating from Chenobal, has cause some sort of deviance which expresses itself as thumping. "I'm from Europe, therefore I thump".

Sounds like they are enjoying new music at 60 yo - fantastic! Other's prefer to shut their lone selves away in dedicated listening room, obsessing about the reproduction of some vague, abstract facsimile of a live event and arbitrarily debating merits of the same old audiophile approved classical music ad nauseam.
DIfferent objectives; different approaches. Let there be difference, even if one does not understand it... or is scared of it.
I also echo others' comments - why would you post about "you Euro-thumpers" here? The music and behaviour of the people posting to this forum bares little resemblance to what you describe. It may be time for you to stop labeling and perhaps even get out more.
I fondly suggest that you do a 180, - you'll feel a lot better. Perhaps you'll garner some modicum of relief from the intense suffering that you're putting yourself through; in the opposite place from here. The internets, are a big, 10-4, kinda place.

Can you youtube an example of Euro thump?
It's just mindless techno, or rap in some foreign language.
