The music wasn't the problem, it was the curly perms that went with it!
Now it implies tattooed men with perms and spandex trousers making a horrible din.

Now is not the time to try elaborate at home treatments such as coloring or home perms unless you are experienced, since most stylists would not have the time to fix any potential mistakes, even emergency ones.
