Noise cancelling headphones makes you look like a panda.
You can try to be a productive hustling startup bro, a creative writer in a coffee shop, or a developer with the latest focus enhancing tech on your ears, to me you’re still a panda.
Sometimes I just wear them to have others let me be in my panda state. I don’t play any music, don’t even turn them on — I just signal I’m a panda, a protected species which shouldn’t be disturbed.
Sometimes even nice people disturb the panda. Sometimes, it’s only to tell it that it looks like a panda. It then takes off its headphones and looks more like a frustrated startup bro, an annoyed creative writer, or an angry dev.
