Jack Antonoff Cheekily Addresses Rumor about Wearing Airpods at the VMAs

[zodgory]

i would like to tell you directly from me that i did in fact use earplugs the other night. they were blue ‘hearos’ brand and im mortified to admit that i’ve been using them for a long time as well as buying them in bulk. i would also like to be honest and get ahead of that fact-

I have worked in factories for over a decade now. The door at my current job and others, clearly say it only takes 15 minutes before permanent hearing loss occurs. Protect your hearing. We have a copious amount of foam earplugs, literally everywhere!

I work with foreman/supervisors that have been there for decades. No ear protection. You have to scream at them, right next to their ears for them to hear you.

Me? I always have earplugs in my pocket or on my table for when I switch pants.

I legitimately put them in before I even enter the place. And only take them out once I leave. Not even on breaks or lunch.

So many Gen Z-ers don't take it seriously, either.

The excuse I hear the most is: "I don't like the way they feel."

Yes, protect your hearing.

I was at a musical today and it was surprisingly very very loud, it was very uncomfortable and I wished I had earplugs with me :(

Well, tbh, who would think to bring them?

I know wouldn't.

True, I also wasn't expecting it. Loved it otherwise, but the headache the whole day after was something. 😭

Glad you at least had some fun!!

I work at a factory too, every single door to enter the factory area has hairnets and ear plugs.
