Party is good and promising to be great. DJ is spinning the great tracks. Two or three dozens of great looking avatars are there. Ongoing chat is interesting. Club is loaded with particles and effects. Bandwidth meter just managed to fall out from the red, and almost nobody is gray anymore.

Then you hear it:
~~*-HOOOOOOOOOOO-*~~
Dammit! Idiot is in the house. Problem is, HOOOOOO never goes alone. It's always followed by an another one, and another… and another… And then comes that giggle in retarded kid's voice, yeeeeehaaaaaa, woooot and probably something else. Have I mentioned the beloved ~!!!AIRHORN!!!~? The retarded idiot is inspiring more idiots. Out of nothing, what promised to be a good party turned out to be cacophony of cheap sound effects. What was the great audience is now a hideplace for a few immature gesture-jerking freaks. They think they are adding to the atmosphere. They think their gestures are cool, hose cheap sounds they got in their noob days.Those same people would rather die than wear freebie shoes from their noob days. Whyd they think freebie sounds are ok then?
OK, you think, you know better than them. You know how to mute them. They are not saying anything interesting anyway. Sure if you mute them, they'll turn to gray shadows so you'll have to watch if you're trying to make some photos of the party. Or you can go the other way and mute the sounds in the mixer. That will do.

But it won't do. Club is full and we all look good. Primcount of all the attachments is hitting the ceiling, new animation is being loaded every few seconds. Bandwidth line is peaking most of the time. And you know, audio stream is the last in the stack of the things to be downloaded. So each time somebody fires up a sound gesture, your stream drops to make some room for the stupid sound. You don't hear the effect because you muted them all, but you don't hear the music either.
After all, you use your friendship with club manager of DJ to get the stream's URL, logout and continue listening the show from the desktop player. Shared experience, eh? Well, you have to watch who you share your experiences with.
