Not quite every single one (and it tends to be what I call 'chipmunk techno' round here too). Obviously, there's no way of blocking them, but it's the same as every other form of anti-social behaviour: it won't stop unless someone shows it's unacceptable. And it is indeed illegal to play music out loud on railways and buses in the UK, but if everybody just sits there fuming, nothing is going to change...
